, interestingly enough I heard Martin Scorcese mention that his decision to film Raging Bull in black & white stemmed from his frustration at the lack of attention to film preservation at the time. Apparently it is far more difficult to preserve color prints, and parts of the film that WERE shot in color are now faded, according to Scorcese himself.
