Sometimes B&W is an artistic or editorial choice, so IMNSHO colorizing
something like "Casablanca" is heresy, but for most of the history of
photography there was no choice, so I'm kind of OK with this.
Some of these the colors are a bit vivid. I think slightly more subdued
colors similar to the old tinting oils would work better. It doesn't
bother me all that much. But, the originals are still preserved intact,
so I don't see it as much different than hand coloring B&W prints with
oils.
I have watched the "colorized" version of the Maltese Falcon. It looked
like B&W film had been hand tinted frame by frame, and that the colors
had faded after a while. Wasn't overblown or garish like some of these are.
It didn't detract from the film, nor keep me from enjoying the film
again in B&W.
