In England especially there is a monophile cult but there is no mass
mono market today.

This is an interesting phenomenon. It is related to colorization of
movies, which purists decried. Old time movie fans mostly really
didn't care. On the old TV sets-which was how you watched old movies,
only NYC and SFO had cinemas running old films-you just turned the
color level down and you had black and white.
