Hello.
Stumbled across this forum whilst researching my dissertation. Enjoyed nosing around so much I've decided to stop and join in the fun!

Love old British movie and some old British television.

So, hello all!

Default Hello from a newbie
Hello fellow brit classic film buffs. Found this site whilst trawling the web, great stuff. I have a passion for classics from the 30 to 50's, and the picture palaces that showed them, especialy the ODEON group of theatres.

There is a great book on the subject which includes many pictures of old cinemas; name escapes me and you probably possess it.

I, too, am a great lover of old British movies and would love to see the colorisation treatment applied to a number of them, especially the old musicals.

I know there are many ardent black and white movie buffs against this latest technology saying it would spoil their enjoyment and memories of these old films but I really think there is an opening now for colorised versions to be sold alongside the originals I am sure there would be plenty of interest out there.

Any comments, guys?

Regards, Gerry B

There are quite a few threads here about colorised films. The most recent one is here

The general feeling about is "Why?"

B&W photography and cinematography is different to working in colour. You look for different things in the image you're making. It's not just a matter of the presence or the absence of colour.

When films were made to be seen in colour then that's how they should be seen and when they were made to be seen in B&W then that's how they should be seen. Colorising a B&W film is essentially vandalism. Like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. It's saying that you think that the film looks better in colour - that you know better than the people that made it

There are case where a film would have been made in colour if the facilities had been available. But they weren't available so the cinematography was planned as a B&W film. The same objections apply. Adding colour to a B&W films does not make it a colour film. It only makes it a B&W film with colour daubed over it.

Welcome to the forum
