Title: A Colorized Version in Partial B & W
Product review: I bought this version because it sounded from the reviews to be one of the best restorations available. I am a B&W junkie and believe movies should be preserved in their original form. However, I got stuck watching it in color because of a technical issue with our DVD player. I found the colorization job that was done to be garish in some areas but completely weak in others. What really amused me was the fact that the "colorizers" left so many things uncolorized. Some are subtle and in the background and others are quite obvious. I spent most of the movie picking out areas that they didn't bother to colorize. Apparently they were too lazy or felt the audience was too "dull" to notice. It really irritated me to see this careless treatment of such a classic. As far as the restoration is concerned, I felt that it was fairly decent. I have yet to see the B&W version so I can't comment on that.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
