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?
