Despite the fact that the entire movie is in black-and-white, several viewers vividly (and specifically) recall the "red" blood as it swirled down the shower drain. Obviously, this could not be true, not just for the fact of the black-and-white film, but the blood was actually Bosco chocolate syrup. Although theatrical movies were produced in color at the time, newsreels were shown in black-and-white. Filming the movie in black-and-white might have made it seem less gory, but it also might have seemed more real to viewers at the time, who were used to seeing the news in black-and-white. Perhaps by coincidence, Dr. Richard Thorndyke (Mel Brooks) is "stabbed' by a rolled up newspaper in Alta tensione (1977).
