Black & White Classic Dramas
147The best classic dramas shot in the timeless elegance of black and white. When there is no colour, light and shadow speak; a glance, a face, a curl of cigarette smoke carries all the meaning. These are masterpieces from cinema's early age: some from post-war Europe, some from Hollywood's golden era. Striking even to the modern eye, and a masterclass in craft.
