At a recent Omnicom convention in Miami, Majel Barrett (sic?) show a copy of
"The Cage" which was partially colored by the miracle of modern computer
techniques.  It kept jumping back and forth from b&w to color.  I thought it
greatly improved the quality of the tape, but she said they canceled the
project because 'they' thought the color was to distracting.  She said that
the tape she had (Gene's copy) was all that remained from the attempt.  She
did say that Gene had just signed a deal to make "The cage" (b&w) available
on video cassette.
