Hen's Tooth?

Ack!

Great news! I think there was a fairly recent restoration. Supposedly Hen's Tooth's quality has improved of late. I know they went Blu recently, and I'm surprised they aren't offering a Blu-ray of this. I emailed them recently about doing a Blu-ray of Cross of Iron, and they said they would do it if they could get access to the elements again.

I know, right? I hadn't thought about Hen's Tooth for years, then checked their site and saw the Blus after reading this. Works for me.
