they showed it on TCM a few years ago. you're right about the effect the color has on a viewer. black and white aestheticizes everything, which (for me, at any rate) feels like its whole point. if you start to examine the whole issue, it seems remarkable how long it took some of the best directors to start using color, although a lot of that probably had to do with how cumbersome it was to shoot in Technicolor. speaking of Technicolor, there's also a really wonderful documentary called "Cameraman" about Jack Cardiff, who is still probably the best Technicolor DP. I've seen it on Netflix and it's also probably floating around YouTube.
I just checked...it's free on Prime and four bucks on YouTube. worth it, if you're a movie freak.
