I do understand the colour for a Christmas film but there are dark overtones to this film as well and I can't see it in colour. I did once and I didn't like it but each person has their fav regarding this:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-65591427869010886082014-12-22T15:28:15.175-05:002014-12-22T15:28:15.175-05:00Merry Christmas to you!

I like '...Wonderful Life' colorized best! I think they've colorized it twice, and the first copy I saw was not very good. But the DVD I have now looks really lush and Christmassy (except the teeth are still a bit grey). I didn't think I'd like '...Wonderful Life' colorized either, at first, because I'm basically a film purist. But the colorized version allowed me to notice dozens of details in the backgrounds that I'd never caught sight of in the 20 times I'd seen the original black & white version.<br /><br />I have the '...Wonderful Life' DVD 2-pack, which contains both the black & white original and the colorized version, but it's been the color one I've watched for about the last 6, 7, or 8 times.<br /><br />No way would I want to see 'Sunset Boulevard' or any other classic Film Noir colorized, but with a Christmas movie, color seems to be more appropriate to me.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

One of my all time favorites is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The funny parts never get old! :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas!
