AH,Good point, and I would second the views that not all B&W film that we think are great movies could ONLY have been in B&W. There were great ones that were in B&W because that was the technology of the time.
There were many great plots, dialogue, acting, scenes, and directing that might have been more powerful in colour.
"Double Indemnity" and Casablanca" were film noir - more or less- but did not benefit from great B&W photography. Sacriledge, but "Wild Strawberries" too.
