Black and White Movies

I have been watching quite a few Black and White movies of late. There’s something about Black and White movies that adds charm to the movie. As Peter Bogdanovich (Actor and Director) puts it, “it’s the lack of distraction”. You focus on the movie and not on the color of the actors’ clothes or eye colour.


The best thing about black and white movies is the female lead actors. They look splendid. Infact, they all look so splendid on screen. I don’t know if they would have looked the same in this day and age in colour cinema.
