Does the colorized version still air on TCM?


or is it only the black & white version.

Black and White. I'm pretty sure TCM doesn't show colorized versions of movies anymore.

i had no idea this was in color also, i think i might have gotten the impression the movie was a bit older since it's b&w. my favorite scene was when she was in rage and started screaming "whore" etc.. seemed so unexpected of her or the movie.


i thought you came back after a deep sleep,
thought i woke up to what was real,
but you're gone,
you weren't here for long,
but got close to me,
i woke up to reality,
so i'm putting you back in,
to the dream where you've been.

I would think TCM is embarrassed by the whole colorization thing. This film "feels" very B&W, and to mess with the color controls to appease an unsophisticated audience is just plain wrong.

And yes, Shelley Winters is quite the hot potato(e) in this, isn't she? No one flew off the handle better than her. There's no one like her today. Elizabeth Hartman was superb in this as well.
