Holiday Inn In Color
I rewatched the colorized version of Holiday Inn this past weekend, and it is remarkable how great the movie looks in color. Why has colorization kind of disappeared now. You don't hear or see many old movies/tv shows being colorized these days. This is a question for old friend Lee.
Where is he?

Re: Holiday Inn In Color
Some films just would not be the same shown in colour.
All those gangster films and the direction and filming are really good in B & W - cleverly used shadows and light etc.

Re: Holiday Inn In Color
I think that HI is one of the better conversions to colour. Not so gaudiest as so conversions. It is a lighter colour. Some are really too bright and unreal.

Re: Holiday Inn In Color
Hi Lee!
What movies do you feel would benefit from color? Do you think it is too expensive for the companies now to colorize the old movies? (Since DVD sales are flat these days)
Of Bing's movies I would love to see The Star Maker colorized and what is an Irish movie like Top O The Morning without being able to see the green!

Re: Holiday Inn In Color
Here Comes the Groom is a splendid movie, even in black-and;white but, yes, it would be even better in colour.

Re: Holiday Inn In Color
I haven't seen a new classic movie colorized since Holiday Inn. Is there a market these days for that?
