We certainly know that B/W films will be good to be printed on B/W stock, but what is the result if they are printed on color stock? Sephia color?

My more concern is, how with some features that combining color and B/W pictures, I think "That's Entairtainment" is one example. How the B/W look like in this feature?

thanks,

Hi Winbert,
I have 'That's Entertainment' 1 and 3, and both films are printed on color stock and contain significant numbers of black and white sequences. I can only tell you that, at least on my prints, the black and white sequences look great with excellent definition and contrast and no visible sepia or other color tinting. In fact I would say the B&W on these films looks better than most black and white printed on black and white stock.
