Sorry, but are you talking about Pleasantville, a city in N.Y. Estate?, I've
been there two times.

Saludos cordiales,

Boy, I guess they do. 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.
