This entry is to honor the work of early Hollywood to attempt to make color movies and pictures happen.
This picture has been colorized--it is from Ingrid's very first part in a film as "girl in line."
This is a colorized photo from the 1944 black and white film, Gaslight.
Colorized photo of Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman from Notorious. I wonder if Robert Capa took this photo?! Wouldn't that be sexy?
There was a movement in the 1980s to colorize films that were originially done in B&W...I'm not a fan, but I thought in the 1920s and 30s it was a perfectly legit way to try and improve film. They also tried to do this to It's a Wonderful Life, I didn't like that colorized either. Lol.
*wikipedia information is subject to change and is not a reliable source. I just used it to emphasize my point, I'd suggest further reading if you're really interested in the history of colorization (also--different forms of colorization have happened throughout the history of film and photographs, so it's completely more complex than the wiki-answer).
