These should be fun, especially since the latter two co-star Orson Welles.

More Fox treatment of vintage technicolor that looks like a b&w film with Ted Turneresque digital colorization. Hideous. What the hell is wrong with these folks-- they get b&w (i e the Fox noirs) so right, and even some color discs, but they have been getting vintage technicolor
like Alice Faye o so bloody wrong??
Look at this monochromish technicolor rot:
BLOOD AND SAND^
Utterly dead, lifeless technicolor. No "pop" to anything, all the colors pale and washed out.
THE BACK ROSE (quote "the best looking transfer of the set")^

Great news about the 2nd vol- I've only seen This above all, and I want to see and own all. Tyrone Power is my greatest male Hollywood idol since I was a teenager.

DVDBeaver reports that the Luck of the Irish has been tinted green to replicate the original theatrical experience-- I've never heard of a color-tinted sound picture, was this as rare as it sounds or were there other sound films that took advantage of this? I don't mean like Spellbound where there's color elements added to the black and white footage, I mean replicating the color tinting of silent cinema for extended passages.

I believe Wee Willie Winkie was released in a tinted version...
Reflections in a Golden Eye also springs to mind...

It wasn't done frequently. A few early sound films had full silent-style tinting, e.g. THIS IS THE NIGHT, ONE HOUR WITH YOU and ZOO IN BUDAPEST. I didn't know about WEE WILLIE WINKIE until I watched the copy in the big Ford box; I had expected it to be sepia all the way through.

Some prints of Whale's Frankenstein were tinted green on its initial release.
