As I understand it, for a while after audiences were used to color in theater movies, " black-and-white" film was no longer available for movie making. Directors who wanted to show non-color segments for artistic reasons had to shoot in color and then convert it to black-and-white (now commonly called grayscale. And computers were used for the conversion..Film Noir is a category of filmed dramas that made excellent dramatic use of shadows and silhouettes to show mystery and suspense. Humphrey Bogart movies are an example. “In a Lonely Place” is one of my favorites..As far as cartoons, when I was young the only time I saw them in color was in theaters. Our family didn’t get a color TV set until I was 18 years old..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir

Calvin’s dad explained it better. He said that the film is actually color film, but the world was black-and-white back then.

I didn’t know that Ted did that? I’m glad that they stopped colorizing movies.
