If you are comfortable with After Effects, try the Grain Removal filter. It can do well with dirty video, but I’ve never tried it with film-originated material.
Too many passes, though, will create an interesting glow, almost like a diffuse focus effect. I used this for an Indonesian Tsunami Appeal commercial to clean up our source material (badly encoded DVD). It worked well with 10 passes of the filter, and we ended up keeping the cool look that it created.
Just an idea.

Thanks Enzo… Unfortunately I do not have that plug-in for my AE. Do you know of anything that works with FCP?

You can try G DVNR in my Set 1 at http://www.nattress.com – the filter is too complex in this version, but might work for you. I’m spliting it into easier to use, simpler plugins at the moment for the next release.
