There's a lot of people to credit *and* blame over this from Universal to Bob Harris to Coppola to the BFI, to Saint Kevin B himself. Kevin's newest version would cost (my guess, mind you) about $500,000 to put out with the full orchestral score. There were possibilities of this, but I haven't seen any of the cast of characters recently to get updates. What we should all do is to purchase Gance's La Roue that Flicker Alley put out last year.
Jessica, didn't MoMA show the restored version in NYC recently?

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
