I have a question for those knowledgeable about the film. While listening to the soundtrack on youtube, I came across a group of colorized clips of it.
Being a fan of the movie, this surprised me (its shot in B&W). My questions are: 1. Was it shot in color and converted to B&W later for the theatrical release; or was the original B&W version colorized post-shooting for some reason?
Is the color version available for sale? I am mainly just curious - I like the B&W release just fine, but wouldn't mind watching the color version. For those that are interested, here are the clips.
The colors seem significantly off (especially in the first clip), so I am guessing that it was colorized post-shooting. [YOUTUBE][YOUTUBE]Thanks for the assistance. Click to expand.The vast bulk was shot/taken in black-and-white.
Colour technology was very new indeed, and actually the Germans were ahead of the game with AGFA. Hence the very good colour photos taken for 'Signal'. But for colour movie/newsreel footage, KODAK in the USA were very advanced ( just look at Wyler's 'Memphis Belle' footage ). 
Only toward the very end of the war were the Americans using truly portable colour cameras. Britain lagged behind Germany and America in colour combat photography, both still and black-and-white.
If they were deleting all the black and white footage and films from the archives and replacing it with colourised stuff i'd agree that it was a terrible thing - the fact that they're just giving everyone the option means that more people have the chance to see these items in the format which they prefer, so it opens the genre up to many more people. If they do a good job of it, and from what I've seen it's getting better all the time, there is nothing wrong with colourising black and white at all. I don't really mind either way, but some things are better in black and white, some better in colour. Luckily now we are starting to have the choice.
