TCM showed Fighting Man of the Plains (1949) in 2013 in B&W, and at
least once since advertised as in Color, but I can't get confirmation
that an original CineColor print was actually shown.
The film had a theatrical re-release in the 1950s with B&W prints and
that's apparently the only widely available source even in Germany
where they really like the old Westerns.
A couple of other Marin Scott Westerns from the period have been
restored in color so there is always hope.
