Film Noir

What do you get when you mix a gaggle of expatriate Austro-Germanic cineasts with a gang of American pulp novelists writing about flawed men and conniving women, some Expressionist lighting to hide the fact they're on a two-bit soundstage, all in shades of gray in post-WWII Hollywood, California? Well, around here we call it Film Noir. Yeah, it's as defined as the morals of its characters, sure, but it's kinda like jazz or pornography, Junior...you'll know it when you see it. So, sit down and keep yer hands where I can see 'em and we'll talk about some of the greats, the losers and whatever else comes to mind while you're bleedin' out and she's spendin' all that insurance money.

Just saw this very movie posted over at Full Movies on YouTube, but—gasp!—colorized!

So these new AI Ted Turners wanna play with their new tech toys, well, that's all fine and dandy…but leave the noir in Film Noir, thank you. For your viewing pleasure, in the original and glorious black and white, just like the newspaper they're printin', the great Humphrey Bogart in Deadline – U.S.A.!

EXTRA! EXTRA! Link: the original trailer in 1080HD!

No need to apologize. Even if it wasn't this obvious, I would think something like colorization is going to be an individual preference. Something might look fine to you, and just feel off to someone else. I think my overall feeling is that they should just leave things alone regardless. There's a reason I love these old movies.
