I went back and looked at the B&W in "Pleasantville" which had very much a video quality on my DVD and a grainlessness that made it much less compelling. I know they shot it in color, of course, so that's what I sort of used as a reference point for thinking it was shot in native black and white. One thing was clear: the black and white was marvelously uniform throughout the film - I can remember films from my childhood where from reel to reel the picture went from gray to sepia to pinkish - I don't remember the name of the film but it was set aboard a freighter at sea.
