The Big House, the crime classic starring Chester Morris and Wallace Beery, was originally released in black and white — no official colour version was ever produced by the studio. What you are looking at is the professionally colorized restoration: every frame recoloured, available as an instant DRM-free HD (720p) download. You can judge it yourself — the colour preview plays on this page before you buy.

Convicted of manslaughter for a drunken driving accident, Kent Marlowe is sent to prison, where he meets vicious incarcerated figures who are planning an escape from the brutal conditions.
