I've encountered several people (one PhD in fact) who have sworn up and down to me that both Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were colorized. One even tried telling me that the first time he saw Oz it was in black and white. When I asked him if that viewing on a B&W TV, he said yes but didn't seem to get the contradiction.Don't forget Orson Welles comment about colorization: "Tell Mr. Turner to keep his goddamn Crayolas away from Citizen Kane!"
PS - I hope your reference to Drums Along The Mohawk was meant to illustrate the ignorance of the customer. 'Drums' was always a 3-strip Technicolor movie.
