Honestly it probably depends on the post production house prepared them. Everything has been scanned or copied to digital at this point. Sometimes that means the film was rescanned (if it still exists), some times its just just NTSC upscaled. Your black and white points may be at the whim of the junior color artists, which will partially determine the saturation and sharpness
