Shores of Tripoli in Glorious Technicolor
Not! Anyone planning to get this old patriotic potbolier to see a young Maureen O'Hara in Technicolor can forget it. They released it on DVD in black and white. It appears to be a decent print but come on!

I thank you for the information! I just checked mine and it's in B&W. I also checked my BB receipt and I'm just 2 days within the 30 day return period. I'm on my way to return it right now. I'll order another copy online.....It's easier than having Fox send a replacement.

Just an update. (I chose not to edit my last post in order to make the timeline of the info more understandable).
I received a credit from BB (and bought Chinatown (1974) with the credit).
All the copies at BB are in B&W.
I called DDD to see if they have the corrected copies. They are thinking of taking it off their site until the corrected version is released. I was advised by DDD not to buy it at this time.
It's my guess that Fox doesn't have any replacements to send out at this time. Most likely you will have to wait for the corrected version to be made. I suggest anyone who owns this movie return it from where you bought it and wait.
