And btw, I agree with the general sentiment here. In my opinion and with most all the regulars at the Turner Classic Movies website(my other favorite place to spend time and discuss another passion of mine), Colorization of classic B&W movies verges on an abomination, as not only hasn't the process been perfected enough at this time to not call attention to itself, but also as some have mentioned in this thread, it isn't how the movies' directors filmed them originally, as it's always a guess as to which color filters on the cameras these directors would've had their cinematographers use while filming them.

This does NOT however have me sometimes wishing John Ford would have used color stock while filming some of his earlier classic John Wayne-starring westerns filmed in the strikingly beautiful Monument Valley area of Utah, OR wishing I could watch Jimmy Cagney dancing and waving Ol' Glory around in vivid Technicolor in director Michael Curtiz's "YANKEE DOODLE DANDY".


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
