Speaking as a film archivist, that work print looks good enough to be a master for the HD transfer: no pun intended.

Yes, but the question to be asked is, 'how does it look during the night scenes?  Can I see what is going on?'

I'd like to see Manos in a movie theater . . . at midnight . . . in a really sleazy part of town.  Now THAT would be something to look forward to.

Torgo is so happy that he's dancing.

Dear God,  44 seconds is an eternity when watching something like that

Torgo is so happy that he's dancing.

But is a High definition Manos really a good thing? 

Isn't the part of the Manos experience the fact that it looks like the tape is so worn out that you expect your VCR to ruin it any minute, even if you're not watching it on VHS?
