That movie is rot.  Colorized I would like to see it just for the novelty.  It has lots of bits that are fun, and I love CAROL OHMART.  ELISHA COOK JR. gives a great speech or two. 
The movie is crap.

I won't watch or buy colorized movies, but if other people want to watch them that's their business.

13 Ghosts (1960) was shot in black & white with the ghosts being red as part of some cheesy gimmick.....

Not that it was that good of a movie, but it might be interesting if somebody got an original print & restored the red ghosties in it.....

^I think there may be a copy of that floating around!

I love that movie!

How I Won the War (1967)
Form IMDB trivia

"The intended concept of the movie was that archival black-and-white footage of each battle was to be tinted specific colors. The soldiers who died in that battle continue to accompany the unit silently with their uniforms now the color of the battle in which they died. However, when the final answer print was sent from the principal lab in England to the labs in Los Angeles subcontracted out to make the release prints, the Los Angeles labs assumed that the tinted footage was a mistake, and graded it back to black-and-white without notifying anyone until the whole batch was struck. The version of the movie shown on "Retroplex" from Starz has the battle scenes tinted different colors and the soldiers who die in a battle become that color."

In short, every time a character dies, in the original print, it was done in b&w, but years later, color tinting was restored to these scenes, thus explaining the "ghost soldiers" done up in pink & blue, etc.
