Perhaps the black and white Warner Bros logo should have tipped us off. But no, we watched 3 hours of the Phantom Of The Opera before we discovered it was all in black and white. It wasn’t until the grave scene at the end when the red rose showed up black that we figured out something was amiss with our DVD. We immediately determined to take it back to wal-mart. That being decided we took it out of our DVD player and put the stupid thing back in its color case. It was then that we noticed that our DVD player logo was also turning up black and white on the screen of the TV…we naturally came up with three possibilities, there being three of us there at the time.
1. The stinkin DVD corrupted our whole system (it was a logical thought in the times of computer viruses).
2. Our rather old, but large, TV was toying with our mental capabilities
or…
3. The connections on the back of the player had been hooked up wrong.
Unfortunately we discovered after investigating that option number 3 was indeed the problem….and we found, much to our horror, that we’d wasted 3 hours of perfectly good and beautiful color in black and white.
Believe us, things are better in color.

OK- but so did you like the PHantom? I thought it was ok. Liked the live performance better.
Oh it was good! Even in black and white! I had never seen it before and didnt know the story. It was very romantic! After we got the COLOR working we went back and watched some of the scenes again!
for the record though, I enjoyed the movie in black and white very much...the snow flakes show up so much better in black and white, they get kind of lost when its in color...
