[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 383547, member: 57984"] Also, Ginger was an homage of sorts to Marilyn Monroe, still fresh in the mind of the culture in the mid-'60s. Fifteen years later, it would have made less sense. Yes, Monroe is still remembered even today, but satirizing her would read as well as it did in 1964, I'm guessing. Like Elizabeth Taylor's Oscar-winning role in BUTTERFIELD 8 -- a terrific performance in a tawdry sudser she never wanted to do and reviled the rest of her life. I'm solidly against colorizing [B]anything [/B]from the 64/65 season. But not the 65/66 season. [/QUOTE]
