B/W or colour?

The DVD I've just watched of this has a choice of black & white or colour. The colour looks genuine, not colorized, so I wonder whether it was originally made in colour with b/w prints available for cinemas who couldn't afford the colour ones?

I was broadcast on a local network today. The color looks pastel, muted... like an old "subtractive" color process photo print. It
is not Technicolor. I'd say that it has been colorized.
