No, the colorization itself was nothing to write home about, absolutely not. But the b&w version just seemed so much rattier, print-wise. I realize that turning off the color on a colorized movie does not constitute the true original tones of b&w, but if the sound is more normal and the print is better...
I think the colorization was done to those same RHI transfers we saw the B/W counterpart of on AMC Saturday afternoons. These masters were also used on the Hallmark US DVDs.

Those were done quite a long (pre-DVD) time ago, and are rather soft "videoish" analog masters. Add to that the mushiness colorization adds, and you get something I have no interest in viewing.
