They just don't "make 'em like dear old Dad used to make 'em" anymore...
Anyways, I was just looking into buying this disc and stumbled onto this thread. Seems more like a sad, sad, sad, sad world when films die an unnecessary death; it's shameful that somebody or some organization close to the film has yet to step up to make the restoration happen, but as others have noted, who has the power to cheat death? Of course, the answer for a film would usually be, anybody with deep enough pockets (assuming that there is a film left to work with).
Now before my old fashioned goes completely to my head, is this effort truly dead, or is there still hope? Has the time truly passed due to the condition of the surviving elements, or could it still be done to one extent or another? Clarify if you can, and then I'll go out and buy the existing disc and pass out on the pool table just like good old Uncle Jim...
