This film was originally released in 1986 by Prince. It was never intended to be in color . it is supposed to be a black and white film to pay homage to the old French romance films. I personally colorized this film using a program from hertage.com. I colorized this film for the fans that were curious to see what it might look like In color it is not an official release. I did not get permission by Warner Brothers or the Prince Estate. I'm a huge fan I was always curious to see this movie in its original state, before it was turned to black and white. This version is not that. Artificial Intelligence has determined the colors to use, so not all of them are accurate. I know from photos that Mary's car was red. In this version it looks purple .ive colorized this film for the curious . Just please keep that in mind. So far the majority of fans have liked it. There's only one person out of hundreds to really hate it. Look at the reviews! Enjoy and blessings to you
