In the 1980s Williams claimed to have had 15 minutes of the film completed, and when the Completion Bond firm took over in 1992, they claimed that 70 minutes was completed.
Seeing that the Bond firm came in to complete the project, wouldn't that mean that the 70 minute figure was innacurate?
Do you believe that 70 minutes of completed film exists as done under the supervision of Williams, or did Williams lie about the film's progress and end up showing a hastily thrown-together workprint for studio execs?
In other words - does Williams possess more than what you have resource wise, or do you believe he just has what we have access to, but in better quality?
Because I think the ultimate coup for this project would be not only getting Williams' approval, but having him donate copies of whatever resources he has for the unofficial restoration.
