"How the West Was Won" restoration

The BBC has an interesting article detailing the on-going process of restoring the Oscar-winning 1962 John Wayne epic How the West Was Won.

This movie posed particular challenges because it was printed for Cinerama release, which meant that there were three different film rolls playing through three different projectors at the same time. Then add to that the fact that each film roll had deteriorated differently (often with physical warping and buckling of the film) - there is a real challenge.
