I saw the colorized verision once and it was stunning.
I know most the copies out there are black and white.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the film in color?
who distributes it?
The ones at Target seem to be in black and white.
Thanks.
I also enjoy the colourized version. I know many people prefer black and white films to be in black and white, and that is certainly the case for certain movies, but I think the colour actually enhances the experience for this film.
However, the colourized version can be harder to find. It's only available on the 3-disc Collector's Edition (not the Special Edition that is available in most stores). It's more expensive, but you can find it online. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Inn-Three-Disc-Collectors/dp/B001DXS4E2/ ref=sr_1_1_twi_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1416324988&sr=1-1 &keywords=holiday+inn+colour+dvd
You might be able to find it for cheaper if you look on ebay or other sites. But it's a nice set. It has a brief but interesting featurette on the colourizing process, and also comes with the soundtrack.
I went to sell some old tv sets at local place near me.
And would you guess what was on the shelf there?
The three disc set! I did not even go looking for it.
The best part it was 8 bucks! That is half the price Target is charging for the one disc!
On Ebay and Amazon it fetches for almost 80 bucks on some bids!
It was a total steal!
Also I agree with what you said about teh color vs bw for this film.
I normally stick with the black and white.
But it looks great i cant wait to put the tree up and then my feet up and enjoy this movie again!
