Yes there is a colour version. The film was actually shot in black and white. The coloured version was created by a very clever bit of computer reprocessing, which (technically) worked very well except for the bits where there is a lot of smoke or dust flying round. Its not the only film that has been coloured this way. At the time I think Hollywood was a bit short of new ideas and planned to produce 'new versions' of several old but popular films. Having seen both the coloured and the b/w versions I think the director was right to choose b/w.
