Those hearts of fans are getting fewer. The Duke's Legacy to me and my children should live on. I would hope that Patrick Wayne in many films would help to see his Dads films live on in the hearts of his children and those after. Most fans are not aware of the deterioration of these films. I would donate and hundreds of thousands would as well. Batjac and Wayne Enterprises should be taking an active role to preserve their fathers legacy for years to come. The High and the Mighty is another I would like to see before I pass from this earth. To the Wayne Family...Please release this film so that I might enjoy this classic with my children and wife of 49 who has never seen it.

It's an entirely different experience compared to sitting at home in front of a television set watching a DVD.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, many studio executives think a film is preserved simply by putting it out on DVD. Not true. A film is preserved only if you have the film elements necessary to create a brand new 35mm (or, in the case of films like the Alamao, 70mm) print. The resolution of a DVD doesn't even come close to the resolution captured on 35mm or 70mm film. Somebody asked "why don’t they just burn it to a DVD."
