But not very well. I collect this stuff and I have my own copies, so I can tell you that this doesn't look better than the b/w originals in quality/detail, and it's easy to see that the color is not great, especially if there are lots of hard lights and shadows dancing around.

That being said, I don't know why it's not working. Seems like it should work. I'd expect it to at least be clean of scratches and stabilized. Any relevant papers I should read about AI restoration of old film?
