Hey, Bill, long time no see. I'll be darned if I can't recall wether the original was B&W or not, despite seeing it maybe 8 times at various ages. I have the remake stuck in my mind (unfortuanely). Need to go check that site Alex linked to check the original. But tomorrow - gotta hit sack now (or else!)
