What was the last major Hollywood film to be released in black & white?

I know Hollywood still releases black %26amp; white films from time to times, but these are exceptions to the rule. At one point in the mid-60s (1965? 1966?), Hollywood completely abandoned black %26amp; white film stock and went all color.





Does anyone know what the last black %26amp; white film to be released in that era was?|||You couldn't possibly pin the end of 'that era' down to one film; Hollywood switched generally to colour in the mid sixties but it never went 'ALL colour'. Admittedly the early 70s probably saw fewest black and white releases, but don't forget Easy Rider, They Shoot Horses Don't They? and Midnight Cowboy in 1969, The Last Picture Show in 1971, Tomorrow in 1972, Paper Moon in 1973, Young Frankenstein in 1974...



This imdb search shows all black and white US releases in date order; maybe you can find your answer there: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?colors=鈥?/a>



It looks like the shift was late 1966 (in which case your answer would be Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?); if you look at the major studios only, there were ALMOST no black and white films in '67... But there were still a couple of exceptions: In Cold Blood and The Incident. And there have been black and white films made every year since.|||There are still some released in black and white.



Ed Wood (1994) was released in black and white, since it's an era film.

Psycho (1960) could've been released in color, but Hitchcock wanted to make it as cheap as it could get.

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) was released in black and white as well.|||black and white is still occasionally released for style purposes believe it or not such as 1974's "Young Frankenstein".|||Not sure about that era, but in modern times, schindler's list was the latest black and white film (I think).
