Yes, like the Wizard of OZ.  The original movie was color, while in the land of OZ, it was very vivid almost too overstaturated; while in Kansas it was sepiatoned.  Over the years that was lost, many versions were only black and white.  Other had faded colors and the sepia tone was replaced with regular black and white.  There was a restoration effort the produced a copy with the original look.  It is nice.

The reminds me of "Lost Horizon" the version staring Ronald Coleman.  Over the years because of wear, breakage, and censorship, so much of that film was lost.  A restoration project was able to recover all but a a few minutes of the audio and considerbly less of the the video.  They use still images of the person speaking during the segement were the audio was recovered but not the visual part.

Lawrence of Arabia was also almost lost.
