It's a Wonderful Life in colour?

Hi all.

My family all love this film and have the DVD from a few years back - we are considering replacing it with this new version (colour will be interesting) but I would really like to know whether the b&w version is finally the proper 'remastered' version that has been out on region 1 for a few years (rather than the sub-standard region 2 that has been available here upto now). Many thanks for any guidance.
 
I have a couple of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock holmes films that Legend have released in colour.
As a previous poster noted, after a couple of minutes you really do forget you're watching a digitally-coloured film, and any strange colourings are down to it being an early colour film.
I also recently got a couple of the Laurel & Hardy discs that were some of the first to be colorised. There really is no comparison between the two systems, and the L&H films appear to have been done by a colour-blind 6 year old.
 
The new version is restored so for the best quality buy the Bluray.

The US one has the colour and B&W versions on separate discs and includes the making of documentary.

The UK Blu has both squeezed onto one disc and no documentary

The new release is better than the R2.

The current restoration was released in the US last year as a 2 disc set but the Blu is new
