A lot of copies of this film, especially if you happen to have gotten it from YouTube, have a greenish-yellow tint throughout. This wasn't intentional, this coloration is due to deterioration of whatever film stock it was stored on, likely because of improper care to the footage. Film lasts much longer and is more reliable than digital files, but if improperly stored or exposed to damp or warm environments such as musty basements or sunny attics, without proper dehumidifying and temperatures, it will begin to degrade over time. If exposed to light for too long, certain colors will gradually fade away, especially if filmed on Kodachrome. The eventual result is a black-and-white negative of the film left behind with not many ways to fully restore the color.
There are also many copies of this film that were recorded by individuals who had a VCR in their home when the film was airing on television. VCR tapes are different from film but can still gradually lose color and picture quality if not properly cared for or stored. To get a higher quality copy of this film, the best thing to do would just be to contact the company that made it and request that it be released on VHS or DVD.
