[TriLUG] Waaaay off topic, but....

Some movies of that era were released in both B&W and in color
especially in 16mm and shorts in 8mm.  It was a cost and distribution
consideration but since that's before I was born, all this is second
hand.  Before VHS there was a pretty robust 16mm and 8mm trading
economy.

I saw it first on a B&W TV set and same for Star Trek.  Boy what *I* surprised!
