I'm with Jerry. I admit I don't "get it" when b&w shooters dismiss color as a lesser form of photography. They have fits when Ted Turner colorizes an old movie, claiming it's untrue to the original intent. Would they be just as indignant if a color movie were shown in black and white? Where are their protests when a color photo is reprinted in black and white?
Nowadays, when a major movie is made in black and white (e.g., Schindler's List, Manhattan), the director is making a statement. In the 1930s and 1940s, the decision was more often than not made for budgetary reasons.
