The New Colorized "It's a Wonderful Life" and the Return of Colorization Inventor Barry Sandrew

The creeping flesh of colorization for black and white movies is back! Well, this time it's with reportedly much better flesh tones. Just when you thought those Ted Turner-instigated and nightmarishly awful color prints of your favorite b&w movie went long-ago out of vogue (roughly around the early 90's when people wised up and b&w movies finally started to be appreciated), the inventor of the process, Barry Sandrew, goes and vastly improves the formula. And what film did his new digital media company, Legend Films, most recently decide to release to capitalize on this new and supposedly improved concept? "It's a Wonderful Life" went through at least two previous colorizations that made more than a few people sick fifteen to twenty years ago when those versions aired on local stations and then countless Turner-owned cable stations around the clock and around the holidays. The first colorization done on the film in the mid-80's was when the film was still in public domain, too, which meant occasionally seeing cut versions (to fit into a two-hour slot) along with the quasi-primitive color process that gave you a headache to look at. Yes, "It's a Wonderful Life" has been through the halfwit corporate ringer more than once before finally getting restored to what it was intended to be by the 2000's. So why are people suddenly raving about a newly colorized "IaWL" that was just released in a two-disc DVD set in November of this year?
