Editing Dead Again (section)

===Post-production===
According to Branagh, the film went through five different edits over the course of six months as he struggled with finding the right balance of humor, suspense, and romance during [[Test screening|test screenings]] with some cuts coming out too silly while others were either too weird or bleak.<ref name="DACF" /> [[Paramount Pictures]] grew nervous over Branagh's usage of [[Black and white|black and white]] for the [[Flashback (narrative)|flashbacks]] with Branagh crediting [[Sydney Pollack]] for persuading Paramount on his behalf to allow them.<ref name="DACF" /> Branagh did however credit Paramount with their patience as despite the studio's apprehension when the film didn't work right away, they were patient enough to give him the time he needed to find the right combination.<ref name="DACF" />

''Dead Again'' is an international co-production between the United States and the United Kingdom. According to the director's commentary on the [[DVD]], the movie was filmed entirely in color. After test screenings, it was decided to use black-and-white for the "past" sequences to help clear audience confusion. The final frame, when the mystery is solved, blooms from black-and-white to color.
