The last I heard from Warner Brothers is that they would like to restore Raintree County for a Blu-ray release but, too much money to do it and don't know when they would. Could be many years from now. If they asked the folks that are restoring digitally the 3-strip Cinerama travelouges - http://www.in70mm.com/news/2011/cinerama/index.htm it would not be that expensive. But that won't happen.

Says "1:33 aspect ratio" when the original was ultra-widescreen. I wouldn't want it as a gift. It's said that the original is still undergoing restoration for a (hopefully) later this year or early next proper release. I'd wait. Joe B in NOLA ________________________________ From: Tom A.
