I certainly hope someone comes up with the needed elements to restore SHAKEDOWN—it’s a lot of fun even if it wasn’t written by Bill Bowers. As part of the July Noir Alley lineup, another 1950 film that languished forever in a bad copy will make its restoration debut on TCM: GUILTY BYSTANDER. I think it is still available online at Nicolas Winding Refn’s site (it was Refn who funded the restoration, not the FNF).
