   @trev358 Or any of the Harman/Ising’s “Happy Harmonies” series in 2-strip technicolor.

   @ShaDeed329 No need to overreact, pal…but, I am indeed sorry about our sources not being 100% accurate. It’s just that I heard that some early color films were also available in black-and-white, but you are right that Coffee really didn’t appear on any black-and-white release.

   @ShaDeed329 You are CORRECT. The only black/white lions were Jackie (1928-1956) Telly (1928-1930) and sometimes Leo (1957-1987) including some B/W of George (Early 1957)

   @ShaDeed329 Gee, don’t get so offended. If you don’t like it, then I’ll take it off.

   First of all Peakpasha and trev358, there WAS NO black & white version of Coffee in the 1932 logo! If ANY short subjects of films were in black & white, then MGM would ONLY use Jackie, NOT Coffee or Tanner from that era because they were used for ONLY color features!! Get your sources right!!

   @trev358

   Look, I don’t know what’s the full story with this. I have two theories:

   1. Some of the two-strip technicolor movies were released in black and white too, becouse it was cheaper. For example Doctor X was filmed in both color and b&w, and for a long time the color version was considered lost.
   2. The people who released this on VHS thought that a color short would stick out too mouch from all the other black and white ones.

   @ChiuahuaTubeALT Are you sure? I thought Peakpasha said there actually was a black-and-white version of “Roast Beef and Movies”.

    @headphone355

    No, it was a short. It was mainly made to utilise footage from an unfinished movie, but is mainly known today for having Curly from the Three Stooges in it.

    Was “Roast Beef and Movies” a feature?

    Gee, I didn’t know there was a black-and-white version of the 1932 logo as well.
