You mean in the set or production design? The movie was one of the major Warner Bros. productions of that year: highly anticipated & heavily advertised. Took three Academy Awards for acting at the Oscars. The low-budget look you sense was possibly the deliberately tawdry set design for the Old Quarter? The crumbling facade -- the Old South vs. the New South -- is one of the big themes in the play.

I can almost see Blanche's influence on several actresses and celebrities. Has that movie ever been colorized?

I've never seen it colorized. I don't think TBS or TNT ever bothered.
I've been watching the British series YES, MINISTER all week. What a hoot this firebomb in the lap of bureaucracy is!
