If you can detect it was a progressive source such as film, then de-interlacing is relatively easy. As Jeffrey knows most professional gear and better TVs will do some sort of de-interlacing if frame rate or resolution changes are needed.
NTSC to PAL used to be ghastly.
24 fps film to NTSC used to be horrible hence 480p as a USA digital mode and USA component video DVD players with progressive output as DVDs from actual cinema are stored either 24 fps 480 line or "24 fps for playing at 25 fps" 576 line (with usually sound pitch changed).
Any DVD or BD player with HDMI will do progressive if the disc is. I bought a progressive component out DVD player years ago for NTSC and it outputs 1440 x 480p or 1440 x 576p for suitable DVDs. The newer 4K TV has no Component progressive input, but the older 1920 x 1080 TV has VGA and RCA Component.
I got a cheap component progressive to HDMI box, but it fails if the DVD player disc source is interlaced. The TV Component input works on progressive or interlace sources from at least 480i to 1080p
