I have met people who have NEVER watched a single B&W movie. Not one.

It's impossible for me to even comprehend 'thinking' of that sort.

The golden age of Hollywood produced some of the greatest films EVER made, and MOST of them, the vast majority, are in B&W.

You just can't make a film nior movie, in color.

I remember watching the 'colorized' version of The Maltese Falcon. It was just ***** to watch. One of the greatest of the greats of the film nior genre, reduced to this, to try to attract more viewers.

In colorizing it, Ted Turned drove away all the people who loved the classic films, in their original B&W format.

Fortunately, the court of public opinion convinced Ted Turner to STOP colorizing B&W classic movies, and the movies that were done, where quietly withdrawn from circulation.
