RE: [Digital BW] Zounds - but is it the Zone?

Maybe shooting in colour and converting to B&W gave them the opportunity to
play around with colour filters *after* shooting to achieve their desired
look?

But what was the advantage as the stock must have added to production costs
more than somewhat, or does the film industry lack the ability to process
B&W movie stock any more.

Or have the emulsion producers stopped making the material?

Anyway be that as it may, one wonders who 'lit' it because they surely knew
their stuff.I can't remember being so struck by such class imagery since I
first saw a Von Sternberg masterpiece.
