Out of curiosity, not opposed to colorization, but would prefer majority of effort be put into restoring the original b&w. This is a worthy goal too- and one that worries me. There was a period of time where rich people and endowments donated money for restoration but, as the most popular films were restored, the pace has declined. I am shocked at how many classic films still look awful. A big part of the problem is that they are still owned by corporations that will not lower profits by dedicating much money to their older properties. These films need to be released into public domain and donated to non-profits to take up the cause via crowdfunding. Each year that passes by is an enemy to celluloid and we are losing a priceless heritage.
