I have upscaled to HD from a low resolution copy. Also facial AI enhancement. I then colourised the enhanced black and white version. If you don't like the colourisation, you can skip to 01:09:47 to watch the enhanced black and white version.
"The Loudspeaker" (1934), directed by Joseph Santley and starring Ray Walker, Julie Bishop, and Charley Grapewin, follows the journey of a young man from a small town who dreams of becoming a radio star in New York City. His determination and ambition drive him to achieve his goal, propelling him into the spotlight and bringing him fame. However, his rapid success comes at a high cost. In his relentless pursuit of stardom, he alienates those who care about him, losing touch with his roots and straining his relationships. Ultimately, the film portrays the bittersweet consequences of unchecked ambition and the personal sacrifices behind professional triumphs.
I downloaded the film from the Archive. I used AI facial enhancement, upscaled both the original and colourised versions to HD from very low resolution and sharpening, decreased the saturation and colourised it using AVCLabs and RTX4090 with a Ryzen9 CPU and 64GB RAM. I then stitched it all together using iMovie.
