The Wizard of Oz was shot in color for all the stuff that took place in Oz. The opening and closing were done in B&W on purpose. If the opening and closing were colorized, it would mess with the movie's tone I think.
I don't care for colorized movies, especially ones that were done in B&W for artistic purposes. "stereoized" mono is also a travesty of similar proportions. I have a Benny Goodman recording with Sing Sing Sing that was processed this way. Luckily I can hit the mono switch and negate about 90% of the horrible echo effect, but its still irritating.
