I would love to see the film in color. Does it exist colorized?
shareWHAT?! This film is most known for its cinematography. Its use of light and shadow on black and white film is part of what makes this a classic. Trust me, this film would lose its beauty if it were colorized.
shareThere's no point re-iterating the arguments laid out in previous posts.
The OP merely bears out the maxim that there are a lot of people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I love the black and white. It works remarkably well with the magical images and fantasy elements.
"I am BIG. It's the pictures that got SMALL!"
Aw come on! She is joking! must be....
shareGod, let's hope this never happens.
shareAlthough, all this colorization talk does remind me of a story I heard once, which I believe may well have been true (and, if so, isn't exactly on our side, as anti-colorizers...but is, nevertheless, a fun story):
Igor Stravinsky, somewhat of an avant-garde compser, once approached Andres Segovia, master of guitar, about writing a guitar symphony for him. Segovia responed "And what would you have me do? Bang the guitar over my head???"
LOL!

Although I'm against colorization for most of the reasons stated, I don't think you deserve all the insults. The big problem to me is that film is art, and as such is the artist's vision. Think of something you've done: written a story, painted a picture, sewed a garment, decorated a room, planted a garden. You had a plan and did the best you could with your skills and budget. If others don't like the result do you want them to change it? Probably not. As for the colors, one poster explained that very well; you won't get anything near what was really there. The original "Miracle on 34th St" is a good example of what results when a machine applies color--black fingernails and BROWN hair on one of the most famous real redheads in cinema!
There are interesting comments by Jean Renoir on what technology has done to art in the special features section of "French Cancan (1954)" (a gorgeously colored film).
