We were the last people we knew to get a color TV and a VCR.
By quite a while.
(Hubby is a one man geek squad, but if doesn't die or become inefficient, it doesn't get replaced.)
The first two movies we got on tape were Leslie Howard's The Scarlet Pimpernel and the other was the 1950's version of The Thing.
We've got our favorites on DVD and Blu-ray now, but the vast majority of what we have is decades old.
That is a great flick too.
We got a color tv when my grandmother came to visit and couldn’t stand watching our B&W (they called them portable) TV sitting on top of our old Console TV. I had a TV in my bedroom but never had a color tv. I guess that’s why B&W Film Noir doesn’t bother me.
