The quality of the King Kong Colorized is quite good for Laserdisc, though it will never be quite as good as archival material on black and white in High Definition on a Blu-Ray.

Yeah, I thought so.

As for Casablanca i never heard that was on Laserdisc, i know someone taped it and wouldn’t share his copy. He also had Citizen Kane, the Sea Hawk. Treasure of the Sierra Madre etc.

Huh. I didn’t know that Citizen Kane or Treasure of the Sierra Madre had colorized versions. I do know that there are two colorized versions of It’s a Wonderful Life, one of which is by Hal Roach Studios from 1985 and the other is by Legend Films, which was available on a 2009 Paramount DVD (and is also available in HD on Blu-ray).
