Republic Pictures Video Colorized


A friend made me a DVD from the Colorized VHS that Republic put out and not only is the color wonderful, their version is more complete than any other I've seen. It's been cleaned up very nicely, too. Dunne looks absolutely fantastic in color!

I had no idea they released this in color. I saw it for the first time last night on netflix instant watch, but it was in its original form.

Are there any screencaps from the colored version online anyway that you may know about?

I usually don't like things to be colorized when they weren't in color to begin with, but sometimes... I'm willing to give certain things a try.

Thanks joes119-1, I just watched and I kind of like the idea of color for this movie. The quality I saw on netflix wasn't really all that good. I could hardly see certain scenes, so I probably got a really bad version.

Is this colored version only available on VHS, and not DVD?

The color version gifted to me is on DVD but it's definitely not commercial-grade so it possibly was copied from a VHS. There's a VHS on ebay right now that has a color screen-shot on its cover-perhaps you could 'ask the seller a question'. Uploads of this version to YouTube and Google video have been taken down because of infringement complaints from Alameda and Warner.

Color was very expensive in its early use and most decisions to go B&W were, I think, economically driven.

I'll see what I can do. Where I am now ebay is blocked (it's a school server) so I can't get on it, but when I get a chance, I will.

Maybe I can get it on VHS, then copy it to DVD, then stick it in my computer and take screencaps of it. I love screencaps; it's like a addiction.
