I saw 49TH PARALLEL two years ago on its film-festival tour, and it's great news to hear that Criterion (or anyone) is delivering the DVD. Thanks for that news, Steve - this is the kind of ammunition I need to keep Mr Smartypants in line. The old "naughty or nice" thing works good for the month of December, but apparently only future DVD Release Dates works for the rest of the year. hrumph...

No, this sort of thing is never true. Especially of any good film. The decisions made about the design and what is filmed are totally different for B&W and colour. If you watch a colour film with the colour turned right down it is hardly ever very interesting visually. When you photograph things in B&W you are looking for quite different things to put in the frame.

Steve I think you are absolutely right on this, there is just something so right about b&w stuff !!!! that colour never seems to quite capture but then I am very biased as I don't like colour films much

I watched The Clouded Yellow for the first time in years over the weekend and it was fantastic.

stevie boy

the film was a disaster was it not?? I love Jack Hawkins but I prefer John Gregson in the tv role. This film also suffers by comparison with the Long Arm an absolutely splendid film that was in black and white.

orpheum

the first ever 2 strip technicolour film is "The Gulf Between".This was produced by the Technicolour Corporation in 1917.The film is lost but a few frames survive.

vaggmk1938

I know what you mean.

For many years I felt that "serious films" should be in black and white. "Serious" included mysteries, thrillers, and dramas. Probably a question of age, for most films in my youth were in B&W--I think my first color movie was "The Wizard of Oz", I was seven when I saw it, just after WWII, and was so frightened by the tornado that I had to be taken out by my 81-year-old grandfather. This occasion was supposed to be a "bonding" of generations--a dismal failure!
