Title: Young Frankenstein in Color? Post by: Devast8or26004c on March 17, 2008, 07:54:47 PM Is there such a thing? I always see the box art and pictures on the back in color format, but have yet to see the actual film in color. What's up with that? :question:

All I wanted was to see her "Roll in ze hey" with some pigmentation. Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color? Post by: JaseSF on March 18, 2008, 01:45:08 PM I love that YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is in black and white personally.

Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color? Post by: The Burgomaster on March 19, 2008, 06:00:49 PM The original theatrical poster was in color, too. By the way, has anyone seen the YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN stage musical? It's coming to Boston and I was wondering if it is any good.
Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color? Post by: John Randal on March 21, 2008, 11:59:16 PM I bet they could put it in color if they wanted to but I don't think they want to because they had the technology to make it in color back then but decided not to to stay true to the Frankenstein feel.
The reason I know they can put it in color is because almost all the Three Stooges shorts have been released on DVD in color now. Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color?

Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color? Post by: soylentgreen on March 23, 2008, 06:42:59 PM Of course, what you really need to do is turn off the color when watching BLAZING SADDLES. That works.
I have some postcards with full color promo photos from THE HONEYMOONERS. While Audrey Meadows is even more stunning in full color, it somehow feels...well...wrong. As far as I'm concerned, the reality of 1950's Brooklyn was, in fact, in black & white. :wink: Title: Re: Young Frankenstein in Color?
