I'm not so sure...when I think of watching TV in the fifties, I remember a vast amount of very graphic concentration camp footage. Gabby Hayes and Disney are both close seconds, but it's those piles of bodies I remember most clearly.

me too. But the ones in the color film are much more shattering. I think it is true that color adds an immediacy that black and white doesn't. You can see it particularly on either "colorized" or "taken in color but printed in black and white" of pictures from a long time ago. Just scenes of the 1800s look like people, suddenly, not grainy dolls.
