Rating: - Yet another wonderful Legend Films movie:)
This is a wonderful Sherlock Holmes movie with both black and white or colorized version available on dvd. I personally prefer the wonderful colorized version but both are excellent quality as are all of the movies put out by Legend Films. They are second to none!!!!!
Rating: - You can see the green!
Some purists insists these old classics be kept black and white as filmed. I can understand that, and, in theory, agree, but I found the quality of this colorized version of The Woman in Green remarkable! If I wasn't already aware of the movie I would think it had been filmed in color! I think it adds to the viewing experience, making the characters more life-like and believeable. It helps bring the menance of the mutilated London murder victims, oddly missing a finger, seem even more subtle, yet immediately menacing and you can still enjoy the original version also on this disk if your prefer. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Why the title change on the box?
I don't know why they had the title- "Prelude To Murder" on the box of the disc I obtained, seeing that the films actual title is THE WOMAN IN GREEN. But, I guess they have since remedied this. I know that some people actually detest Colorization of old black and white films. Now, that they offer the option (like on this disc), of watching this fine Sherlock Holmes movie, with "THE" representation of the great fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, Basil Rathbone, either in Black and White, or Colorized; it should satisfy everyone who enjoys these movies and this series.
Rating: - Another colourised hit for Holmes!
I've seen bad jobs done with colourising-but not these Rathbone Holmes films.
The colour is exceptionally well done-faultless I'd say.
The original black and white version on included on the disc-so there's really nothing for anyone to complain about.
I rigged up my players so I could watch one colourised edition alongside the MPI restored versions, and there was nothing to say against the colourised versions.
Throw away your reservations, and buy these incredible discs-I'm quite sure all the cast and crew involved in the making of these films would have approved of the job that's been done on them. (as I've said elsewhere-it's not been set in stone-you can watch the b & w version included on the disc!)
