Humphrey had no choice on the color, Nerwin.

Time to do some Google research, Nerwin!

The Three Stooges are in black and white and they’re still on TV.

Show him ’The African Queen" next and really blow his mind.

And The Barefoot Contessa.

Back in those days, color was the stuff that dreams were made of.

So they’re not watching “The Caine Mutiny” or “The African Queen”. I’m guessing that it’s not a black-and-white TV.

Here’s looking at you, Nerwin.

It seemed color movies only started about 60 Decades ago, that sounds old. Well anything before I was born sounds old. Yip yip yip yip yip

Here’s looking at you, kid.

Nerwin is the cutest little guy! The best part is his propeller hat!

B&W is what AMERICA ran on from the beginning…

“The TV is broken…”

When I first watched Wizard of Oz on TV, I thought our new color TV was broken. Until we got past the tornado.

Bogart did The African Queen in color. Can’t think of any other movies he did in color however

Bogart set the gold standard for the portrayal of Film Noir private eyes in The Maltese Falcon (as Sam Spade) and The Big Sleep (as Phillip Marlowe).

and the kid seems to not have heard what she said.

“Don’t Bogart that color, my friend…”

Bogie was a colorful character, just not on the screen.

You mean she has a color TV?

One of the best actors ever…..

Alas, Nerwin, your cultural ignorance is showing (in black-and-white). Humphrey Bogart is one of the all-time greats of the cinema….

Did the poor fellow have a nickname?
