THIS CARTOON IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
I know this cartoon exists all over the place on budget VHS tapes. However, all I've ever seemed to be able to find is the hand-retraced/colorized version. It WAS shown on the Bob Clampett Show, but it was the computer colorized version from 1992. I've never seen the original, untouched black & white version of this cartoon anywhere else. I decided to upload it here because it is definitely worth seeing in its original b&w form.
It doesn't seem to be cleaned up or restored in any way. There are at least one or two drop outs, most noticeably at the title card fade-in. The zooming WB shield and ending sequence seem to be from a different source. Other than those things, the quality of the transfer is great.
Until WB releases this short restored on a future DVD set, I highly recommend getting the Thunderbean DVD if you want a DVD quality version of this.
UPDATE (January, 2018): Warner Brothers recently released an official DVD set of all the black & white (and 2 color) Porky Pig cartoons, including a very nice transfer of Get Rich Quick Porky! Get it from one of these links:
