Has anybody here seen the colorized version of this movie? You know sometimes there are movies that you can colorize them and it works, it looks remotely convincing like it was shot that way, and then there are others where it is painfully obvious it's originally black and white. Anybody know which of the two is the verdict with this movie in color, aside from the fact that they gave Ol' Blue Eyes brown eyes?
shareI'm not keen on black and white movies being colourised, but this would rank in the catagory of the former, IMO.
NOW TARZAN MAKE WAR!
The colorized version is very good. One of the best I've seen so far. And in fact I think, Sinatra had blue eyes. The information given on imdb, he was given brown eyes is wrong, as far as I remember. On the contrary...There were a couple of close-ups, in which the eyes looked very intensely.
shareI believe there might be two colorized versions(the film is in the public domain), an older one from the 1980s(the first era of colorization) that mistakenly gave Sinatra brown eyes, and then the newer colorized DVD from Legend Films from the late 2000s, which gets his eye color correct and is pretty well done.
shareI have seen several movies that were colorized. The first ones weren't too good but they got much better so they have improved. When they do a good job it is great.
shareRegardless of the technical quality of colorization, it's wrong. Whether the movies were shot in black and white for artistic reasons, or for financial reasons, they were intended to be black and white. The lighting, makeup, and photography were designed for black and white. Sorry, but there's no valid argument for colorization. Go ahead and contradict me; you're mistaken and I don't care.
shareWhen a movie was made in black and white for financial reasons, the filmmakers didn't "intend" to make it that way, they resigned themselves to it; it was much cheaper. Period.
