Nancy: This NEW cartoon is CRAZY! It's all GRAY! Aunt Fritzi: It's a classic FLEISCHER POPEYE cartoon! It's perfect GENIUS! Nancy: What computer program did they use to get all the COLOR out?
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
