Film Noir

What do you get when you mix a gaggle of expatriate Austro-Germanic cineasts with a gang of American pulp novelists writing about flawed men and conniving women, some Expressionist lighting to hide the fact they're on a two-bit soundstage, all in shades of gray in post-WWII Hollywood, California? Well, around here we call it Film Noir. Yeah, it's as defined as the morals of its characters, sure, but it's kinda like jazz or pornography, Junior...you'll know it when you see it. So, sit down and keep yer hands where I can see 'em and we'll talk about some of the greats, the losers and whatever else comes to mind while you're bleedin' out and she's spendin' all that insurance money.

Yet another reason to hate so called artificial "intelligence".
Oooh...hold on there, tiger! 🐯 AFAIC that vote isn't in yet but I will say this: the AI colorization is far better than (stealing @moonbairn 's epithet) clueless Philistine Ted Turner's versions, wouldn't you agree?
I can't say, as I haven't seen an AI colorized movie that I know of. Maybe I have and I don't know, but either way, I definitely agree with you on the Turner versions. They sure screwed the pooch there. They were godawful. I mean they still are. Guess I need to go give the one in the link . Wish me luck.
Well that took all of 2 mins... That is horrible. The credits are atrocious, and the first scene, well his face is colorized, but it didn't recognize his ears. So his face is in color and his ears are b/w. Also they put in a watermark at the top right. FFS.

Color(ize) me embarassed!
I'd seen something AI colorized (sorry, can't remember the example) and I thought it looked pretty good. I need temper the term "pretty good" because it still is obviously colorized. But I hadn't watched the colorized Deadline -- U.S.A. Your screenshot is dreadful! My apologies! In this case you were right the first time: another reason to hate so-called AI! 😄
No need to apologize. Even if it wasn't this obvious, I would think something like colorization is going to be an individual preference. Something might look fine to you, and just feel off to someone else. I think my overall feeling is that they should just leave things alone regardless. There's a reason I love these old movies.
