I was not aware of these hearings. Very interesting and thorny moral issues involved. Very impressed by Woody Allen's elequent argument against someone other than the director colorizing his original work. Also impressed by Senator Leahy's knowledge of movies and his challenges to the director's arguments, particularly noting Woody's doctoring historical footage ( Calvin Coolidge ) in the movie Zelig. Also had always thought it hypocritical of John Huston to object to having his movies tampered with while largely making films based on novels who's story line he would change. However Sydney Pollack countered with a fair argument that the novel itself was not tampered with, just the adaptation of it to a different medium. Very interesting and complicated moral and artistic freedom issues involved. Thank you for posting this.

It’s sad, and unconscionable. Consider the proliferation of colorized clips on KZitem. I find it tiresome. The idiots seemingly won.

In the end it was none other than old blue eyes himself who stuck a knife in the heart of colorization of old black and white films They tried colorizing one of his films, and the computer got frank's eye color wrong. When he found out he was beyond furious and launched a scathing attack on colorization of classic films (he called it "cultural vandalism") and that was the end of it.

What none of these esteemed directors considered was the likely emergence of a technology that would allow well-trained consumers to colorize movies themselves, supported by an emergent culture that had zero interest in respecting copyright *or* public domain. Sad. We have met the enemy, and it’s the audience.

He was innocent. Every single investigation determined that.
