True, I suppose. Still, a lot of those films were shot with the light-and-shadow effects of black and white film in mind. Sometimes that gets lost with colorization, especially the earliest, klutzier attempts. As long as we can get the originals, it’s all good.
But yeah, some people disdain the old black and white films. I had to practically sit on my ex to get him to watch the Jose Ferrer version of Cyrano de Bergerac with me. Sure, afterward he said he liked it, but his general reaction to old movies was, “Black and white? Yuck.”
