Restore the Alamo!

The movie, that is.

Yellow Layer Failure, Vinegar Syndrome and Miscellaneous Musings by Robert A. Harris: "The time has come for a complete restoration and overhaul – a massive undertaking.

MGM and a number of vendors have been very supportive in the effort to save this epic film, and are making generous contributions. Still, in order to expedite a full and proper restoration we are seeking financial support from outside sources, both corporate and private, for the remaining 1.4 million dollars.

The work involved will take about 10 to 12 months. The final result will be two versions of the film – The original Roadshow and the General Release, both with Overture, Intermission, Entr'acte and Exit Music."
