That's a different flick Mike...
Mike's clip is the second part, the rest can be found here: https://archive.org/details/pet1136r5
But the point is the source material isn't affected at all, you can watch them in their original state if that's your preference.
I'm all in favour of AI enhancement when it's done well, it can bring old films like this alive and interest a much wider audience. For anyone who doubts the value of colourization I'd recommend Peter Jackson's WW1 feature, They Shall Not Grow Old, a truly amazing achievement in film enhancement. It's the next best thing to time travel.
