The Most Striking Black-And-White Movies Old & New According to Redbook

"Despite the innovation of technicolor, most notably used in 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz,' much of film and television remained in black-and-white through the 1950s largely due to cost restraints, technological incompatibility, and limited mass accessibility. By the mid-1960s, much of film and television had been brought to life in full color, forgetting the conventional black-and-white schematic that typified the earlier half of the century. Despite the introduction of color, black-and-white films have remained a quiet constant in the world of cinema, morphing from cost effective pragmatism into conscious aesthetic choice as color films became less cost prohibitive. Regardless of the either visually or literally dated nature of the black-and-white film, these black-and-white productions have proven able to enrapture and excite audiences and critics alike." - redbookmag.com
