"Skin tones look polished and movement is stabilized, giving the image a sharpness that was not originally there."
That actually sounds wonderful to me! The Third Man is probably my favorite film. I always noticed the jitter during the opening credits (zither strings twitching around the frame) and I'm pretty sure Carol Reed would have preferred it to be steady there. I certainly will. I can't wait to see this. As for film historians, hopefully the digitized source will be available somewhere, so they can have the scratches and jitter, if they want them.
