It’s commonly thought that “older” movies are in black and white and “newer ” movies are in color as if there is an obvious dividing line between the two. However, as with most developments in art and technology, there isn't an exact break between when the industry stopped using black and white films and when it started using color films.

However, the black and white film still makes its appearance. True, the
