[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 333967, member: 5079"] I came across that colorized BABY JANE a few days ago. I was initially impressed with the (presumably) amateur work, but the further I got into the video the less impressed I was. The colors, particularly skin tones, were occasionally too garish and there's a muddling of color in some scenes. The work done by Pop Colorture is more technically impressive. I[I] like[/I] B&W, so colorized films have never done anything for me. This is doubly true of genres like horror and noir, where the B&W is essential to the mood; it's perhaps something else to colorize a musical or comedy that probably would have been filmed in color if not for budget limitations. Plus I think it was a deliberate choice to film BABY JANE in B&W; didn't Davis object to the use of color because of concern her makeup would look silly or something? (She was right.) [/QUOTE]
