They've been telling me that since I was 5!

I think they said in one of their podcasts that it's on the horizon eventually, or perhaps RAH mentioned it. But I'm led to believe that it hasn't been forgotten and that the elements are in at least decent shape. According to Warner Archive, the master on the Blu-ray is newer than the one...

Yeah, I'd agree that Ride The High Country meets the Warner standard for "perfect" - setting aside the windowboxed titles, everything in the film looks pristine or nearly pristine, with good and consistent color throughout. There is no visible dirt or debris in the presentation of the film...
