I've never actually seen that movie before tonight, and holy crap. This is now my favorite black and white movie ever.
There is a colorized version, yes, but I find most movies from that era seem better in black and white.
Yeah, when you color an old movie it makes it seem overcolored, like an explosion of rainbow or something. But black and white movies totally have their own genre! Although really, most movies that come out today are just badly done remakes of black and white movies.
My Geometry teacher from last year gave us extra credit questions for our midterm about Christmas movies, and I got most of them. Oh man, I miss him dearly~
