[question everything]

1. Watched "The Third Man" really classic

I think that this was really the first time that I followed it from beginning to end. Spouse has seen it many times.

Before it started there was some introduction in vivid colors and I asked: it was not colorized, was it?

No, my shocked spouse replied. The shadows are so much part of it, colorizing would be a sacrilege.

And that music..
