Be Careful It's My Heart, Holiday Inn (colour)

Possibly my favourite film scene of all time, Including, romance, a great Bing Crosby song and a wonderful Fred Astaire and Marjorie Reynolds dance routine finished off with a hint of humour. A great scene in the original black and white film but now really special in the beautifully colorized 2003 edition. I hope members enjoy seeing the clip. This is a scene I love playing at the Nostalgia Shows I do on a 10ft screen at Nursing Homes and Day Centres.

I only really put this on as I thought some people would enjoy seeing the scene as it would have been seen by the film crew and cameraman on the day it was filmed.

People don;t have to view colorized films if they do not wish and "Hate" is such a strong word that should be saved for real injustices in this sometimes unfriendly world, a world that is and has always been in colour. When you walk down the street do you see people, houses, gardens, motor cars, in black and white. No.

The colorization here is amazing. Unlike most people, I even enjoyed the Turner colorizations (but was aware of their limitations). This is clearly so much better. For instance, if I didn't know it was originally black and white, I may not notice the colorization. I love the sets that include both the B&W and new color versions. Thanks for the post. I'm going to have to go buy this now.

Well said. I agree with your comment regarding the word "hate". Over-used and under-appreciated. As for colorization, this looks good. The characters do not have the look of a mortician's makeup session. Film-noir colorization no!. Fred and ginger, no! Busby Berkley films, no! B&W films by art directors who didn't care, why not!

@robink1960 i do prefer watching these films in b&w but no objection to the colourized version, people just always need something to moan about

I mainly like classic rock but the tone of Bing Crosby's voice is so beautiful

[NathanBLawrence]

Actually, I think the colorisation here is great.

Pity it aint a bit longer, because from what I remember Bing Crosbys reaction was brilliant.

As much as I absolutely love and adore this movie, I hate the colorized version, it looks so much more like the classic I know it to be when it's in black and white

Sadly this was the last feature film Legend Films colorized. They now are target of conversion of 2D films to 3D, and so very busy with a lot of work.
