A big part of what Laurel & Hardy are all about is the contrast between
their body shapes.  Colored in, this would not be so noticeable,
because you would be distracted by the color information.

When a good filmmaker makes a black and white movie, 
every choice he makes is influenced by this fact.
If such a film is colored in, all bets are off.
