There's a lot of people to credit and blame over this from Universal

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?
