In light of a recent article on The Digital Bits: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/052814_1330 it appears that MGM is willing to let the roadshow version of ‘The Alamo’ degrade to nothing.
That said, there WAS a laserdisc release of this cut of the film and it absolutely should be preserved by fans if the studio won’t.
Does anyone have this laserdisc and want to take on the project? We unfortunately sold off our copy long ago.
If nothing else, but a bee in MGM’s bonnet as suggested at the end of the linked article.
