Dear Michael, Moritz's estate was given in part to the ONE ARCHIVE in Los Angeles. It's one of the largest gay and lesbian archives in the world, now owned by USC. When I was there doing some work on Moritz, I was told that USC library may have some Moritz films. I'd suggest contact either ONE for a reference or the University of Southern California Library directly.

It has a soundtrack that attempts to provide a sense of Antheil's original score, and it also has some colour tinting in some sections. This version is on YouTube, and I've seen a VHS version, but would love to access a print. I have already checked EYE, Lightcone, FMC, Canyon, MoMA, and CVM.
