I downloaded this movie in SD from the Archive and upscaled to FHD using AI, with 50% facial enhancement for added detail and 5% sharpening.
After restoring the black-and-white version, I colorized it with soft AI settings, adjusting saturation to reduce red flashes and create a smoother viewing experience.
🔹 Note: Colorization is never perfect, and you may notice occasional red flashes or minor color inconsistencies. For an optimal experience, the original black-and-white version is also included.
The full restoration process took just over 17 hours to complete.
A short clip at the beginning highlights the restoration work. Skip to 00:06:07 for the black-and-white version or 01:13:54 for the colorized version.
"Power Dive (1941), ace test pilot Brad Farrell (Richard Arlen) clashes with his aeronautical engineer brother Doug (Bradley Page) when Doug joins McMasters Aviation. While Brad dismisses flying as too dangerous, Doug becomes involved in designing a groundbreaking plastic plane with Carol Blake (Jean Parker), the daughter of its inventor. Romantic tensions arise as both brothers fall for Carol, but she loves Doug. After a dramatic test flight nearly ends in disaster, Brad heroically lands the plane and reconciles with Doug. Doug marries Carol, and Brad retires from test piloting, accepting a safer role as McMasters Aviation’s vice president."
