It was one of my dad's favorite films of all time - he was the one that told me that story. Been a while since I've seen it.
Maybe, who knows. In an article I was reading it said that the cinematographer wasn't able to guarantee color consistency in a lot of the church scenes, so the director decided to switch back and forth throughout the film for aesthetic reasons.
