Yeah, the source was claiming that the Japanese release was in color, the American scenes were accidentally shot in black and white, and so the rest of the film was converted to black and white for American release...Mac Daddy MM wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 4:27 pm Wait. I may have just smoked up, but I swear I just read that your source is saying G'54 was released in color in Japan, but made B&W in America? Or the Japanese one was made black and white because the American scenes were accidently filmed in B&W?
How many reels of the wrong film stock would have to have been ordered, and then loaded into magazines, for that to have occurred?
