Ray is genuinely worried about the original SHE becoming a lost film and averred that it is difficult to get today's audiences interested in classic movies. He also insisted that today's colorization processes are far superior to that of those used initially (probably true) and that by colorizing, modern audiences would at least give this film a chance.

My personal favorite thing about colorization is that it led to massive film preservation as newly struck prints were used in the process. Frankly, to me, films such as CASABLANCA, TOPPER and IT'S WONDERFUL LIFE look ghastly to me when colorized.
