Bell turns from color to B&W as it turns onto Elm - is that in all copies?

[David Josephs]

I was watching Bell over again - I had created a gif to follow Rosemary - and I noticed something I hadn't before.

Truly claims the limo swung wide onto Elm and almost hits the curb.

Mr. TRULY. That is right.
And the President's car following close behind came along at an average speed of 10 or 15 miles an hour. It wasn't that much, because they were getting ready to turn. And the driver of the Presidential car swung out too far to the right, and he came almost within an inch of running into this little abutment here, between Elm and the Parkway. And he slowed down perceptibly and pulled back to the left to get over into the middle lane of the parkway. Not being familiar with the street, he came too far out this way when he made his turn.

Mr. BELIN. He came too far to the north before he made his curve, and as he curved--as he made his left turn from Houston onto the street leading to the expressway, he almost hit this north curb? [/FONT]
Mr. TRULY. That is right. Just before he got to it, he had to almost stop, to pull over to the left.[/FONT]
If he had maintained his speed, he would probably have hit this little section here. [/FONT][/FONT]


The limo and the people under the tree, the street etc all go from full color to B&W

Is this on all the versions of the film? Sure looks like the people and tree are not in the same film during the B&W frames... IDK

Thanks

The B&W is also on these Bell frames starting with #41

Any ideas about what happened on those Groden frames as they are definitely B&W with a visible change while yours does not show this...

thanks for finding and posting... now they mystery is even more strange

For what it's worth, fellas, just came from a web page called http://www.digitalimprovements.com , which talks of color loss from this type of film. Perhaps this is all it was, but not sure. I'll write to them and see what they say about this OK?

Never a dull moment.

Of course Mark -thanks for the help.

I've seen gifs where the color does not disappear in favor of what appears to be replacement frames portions....

IDK ??
