As a matter of fact, only ONE of those statements is actually true. (And Bob F. reports that the gorilla/space-helmet owner declined a restoration offer.)
The 3DFA did a major restoration on the desert adventure "Inferno", which is considered some of the best "serious" (ie., non-popout) 3D of the 50's, but is it the first movie that springs to mind for most fans, let alone execs?
We're lucky they remember House of Wax and Dial M, which, to be honest, are the first two 3D's people remember at ALL, outside of the 80's jokes.
We just need to get one
OUT THERE and on the shelves. The discussion can come later, but we need something to show as illustration.
Even getting Mad Magician and the Stooges on hard copy would be
something.
