I recommend a Janet Leigh film she was in two years prior to Psycho. Touch Of Evil directed and co-stars Orson Welles with Charlton Heston getting top billing, but the real star of the film, in my opinion, was Marlene Dietrich.

Your question as far as what’s better black and white on films? My answer is it depends on the film. If have a film designed to be black and white, and then you show it in color it takes the magic out of it, because it is designed to have special lighting and shadows for black and white. The films It’s a Wonderful Life and miracle on 34th Street are awesome in their original black and white but see them in color it’s horrible. Vice versa with color film going to black and white. Logan loses it’s magic when watch it in black and white instead of color.

By the way, since you did a special Halloween month in October, just curious are you going to do the same thing with Christmas films in December?

I find black and white is great if the cinematographer want to to really emphasize shadow and light, the angles created by set and perspective or just frame composition generally. I tend to think of color film as a unappreciated default more often than not. Unless the makers of a film really want to utilize color (i.e. original Suspiraia or Blue Velvet), or tie colors to themes or mood, the advantages of color are mostly ignored.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar

I agree. Similar bad things happened with the pan and scanning of the 80s and 90s. There is nothing like seeing Lawrence of Arabia in a full screen aspect ratio.

Completely agree

ROPE is a very very very underrated Hitchcock film. Also, the Man Who New to Much

Rebecca is amazing as well and the only Hitchcock film to win Best Picture.
