    Katy was born in the wrong era. She’d have made a great moll.

    It’s nice to see that Katy has an open mind about B&W movies. Not all kids do. My eldest daughter thought that B&W movies couldn’t be any good because they weren’t in color. That is until I made her watch “The Flying Deuces”. My son is open minded though. When he has been home from school we have had a good time watching old movies. “A Bad Day At Black Rock” (1955), “Of Mice and Men” (1937) (the ending got to him). I’m keeping an eye out for “Marty” (1955) (Ernest Borgnine beat out Spencer Tracy for best actor that year), “The Flight of the Phoenix” (1965), and “12 Angry Men” (1957).

    @nosirrom I had a similar attitude about B&W until Cary Grant died in 1986. I has home sick for a few days and the only channel I could pull in on my tv was running a Grant marathon. They were not only great, but until then I never realized how stunning some of the “old” actresses were – Hepburn, Lombard, and Loy. I thought Grant, Stewart, Powell and Tracey were great!

    If there were a streaming on demand service exclusively for movies made from 1925 to 1975, I would so be there.

    Some of my favorite films are b&w. In the western genre among my favorites ‘Stagecoach,’ ‘My Darling Clementine,’ ‘High Noon,’ ‘Destry Rides Again,’ ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’ and ‘Shane’ only ‘Shane’ was shot in color. When I watch a movie or even an old b&w TV show, I’m watching for the storyline, the talent of the actors, action, cinematography, etc.

    I admit my favorite move is in color – “Lion in Winter” but love so many black and white movies – lucky that husband is the same. The use of the black and white is often so important to the movie. They look terrible colorized and won’t watch same. I am guessing that my favorite black and white move is “Yankee Doodle Dandy” (disgusting colorized) we would watch it summer when it was on TV around July 4th when I was young. Don’t know why of the thousands of black and white movies I have probably seen that is my favorite, but it is.
