Given the tools we have today, any originally gray-scale B&W film can be "enhanced", pulling its dynamic range wider. I think I saw one film like that, with the degree of contrast that struck me as outside the typical film realm.
One might say the films used in the forties and fifties were deficient in their ability to preset the real scale... hence we should try to "improve" them. Here we have the ghost of colorization raising its head.
