I guess you couldn't be bothered to read the text provided?! There is only ONE version of this film, and it's in color!! It was produced in color. From Wikipedia: "Nothing Sacred is a 1937 American Technicolor screwball comedy film directed by William A. Wellman, produced by David O. Selznick"
@@dalanmanbros8311 Didn't look at the credits either. TECHNICOLOR plain as day. An early three-strip Technicolor film, painstakingly photographed. W.Howard Green got what amounted to an Oscar for it. The Academy did not have a separate category for color yet so he got a "plaque". Technicolor was extremely difficult to work with and the company was very perfectionistic since their future depended on performance.
@@Penco40 I was too strong in my reply. Curious that the color seems weak to you, its typical high saturation Technicolor on my lap top. The opening scene, the aerial photo of New York shows haze, perhaps that's the reason. I was at a meeting of the SMPTE years ago when Technicolor discontinued its dye imbibation printing process (sorely missed) we were told a lot about the history of the process. Its very flexible and quite pastel results were possible and were tried, but most producers thought audienxes wanted LOTS of color. I guess Kodak thought the same about Kodachrome, which also looked too intense early on. Other color processes have progressed enormously since that time but to my eyes Technicolor still looks unique and wonderful. Tech discontinued it because the machinery at the Cole Ave plant was wearing out and they could not match multilayer prints for cost. Of course, all is digital and essentially television at the local theater these days. The original three-strip cameras were enormous and very clumsey, the quality of the photography done with them is avsolutely remarkable. Eventually, the original photography was done with multi-layer film using conventional cameras, i no longer remember the last movie shot on three-strip. About 1950. Movies went from saying "In Technicolor" to "Color by Technicolor" at that time. Please forgive the harshness of my original reply. BTW this is a great movie.
The aerial shots are toward the middle of the movie, not the opening. I just got them mixed. My error. Does not change my comments. It would be interesting to know from what this was transferred, Doesn't quite look like original Technicolor but might be either a re-release or a transfer to Eastman Color or some similar process. The original would be nitrate stock and there is not much of that left and much of that will not stand being projected or even scanned.
Good movie . Beautiful performance by Carole Lambard , Fred March and all the other actors . I love it ❤ 😅😂🤣😆 .
Glad you liked it. Welcome.
I also love the early scene - the wife with the children . Wife : That's him . He's my husband .
Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome.
for obvious reason this film would never be made/release in the contemporary world.
Roger that. Thanks for watching.

Selznick is the correct spelling. Easy to look up or read it off the credits.
Welcome. Thanks for watching.
Stay out of Airplanes, Carole ...
Ha! Thanks for watching.
Are you going to upload a non-colorized version?

Mea culpa, I only watched a few seconds, noted the pastel-like colors and stopped
