For those of you who might have ever watched one of Minnesota's best exports: Mystery Science Theater 3000 - here's the story of a man who is restoring (!!!) the cult film Manos: Hands of Fate (a truly awful, awful movie). Fascinating how he came about the print(s).

Two thoughts, Larry:   First, the light is tough.  Neither full sun nor shade really help that sort of subject.   Second, the trailer has spots of decrepitude, but most of it looks okay.  One might do better with a close-up of that window, or the broken tail light, to put across the idea.
