Background
Suddenly became part of the colorization controversy in the mid-1980s when the movie was colorized for home video by Hal Roach Studios in 1986, turning Sinatra's famous blue eyes brown. A second and far superior newly remastered colorized version by Legend Films was released to DVD on June 16, 2009, which also includes a newly restored print of the original black & white film. This colorized version also restores the color of Sinatra's blue eyes back into the film.
The film's copyright was not renewed and it fell into the public domain. Hence, prints became widely available from a number of discount/public domain distributors. The picture can also be downloaded and viewed for free online.

“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
