Candy Clark helped out finding the OCN and restoring the director´s cut:
“In the ‘90s,” recalls Clark, “I found out who owned the film rights and I called them and said, ‘You know I think you’re missing the boat here. I keep getting a lot of questions about this film and I’ll make you a deal. I’ll do all the publicity you need, just use the old poster for the film and let’s put this out as a director’s cut.’ But they told me the negative was chopped to bits and it was impossible. That’s when I said, ‘I know where the original negative is in England.”

Excellent film! Hope this reappears on Criterion. The cover for that release is very influential. I think the designer on that was Neil Kellerhouse who pretty much duplicated his design for the key art for The Social Network a few years later.
