Colorization does nothing for this serial. First off, Linda Stirling was a dark brunette and color makes her hair lighter. The somber blacks and greys give the serial more mystery. Color is just added for those people who feel that it makes the movie more up to date. Originally these serials were shown in 12-15 episodes, one a week, lasting about 12 minutes each. You really can't get the true flavor if you sit and watch the whole thing at one sitting. It would take about 41/2 hours.
