What was the first black and white movie called?
There is no single movie considered the first black and white movie. The earliest known surviving film, Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) by Louis Le Prince, features alternating colors green, orange and black. The first movies were actually hand-tinted, frame by frame, to add color. For motion picture photography, true black-and-white film stock only became widely available in the mid-1890s, first produced commercially by Eastman Kodak in 1889.
