* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: When developing the 1957 remake, 20th Century Fox acquired the film's rights and destroyed almost every known copy. As a result, the film was rarely seen for a long time. Then it fell into the public domain in the 1970s, and the only copies available for decades afterword were poorly-transferred video copies with very soft picture and muffled audio. The film didn't receive a proper restoration until 2020, by Lobster Films in France (sourced from an original nitrate projection print and a safety dupe negative made in the 1950s), which the Criterion Collection released on Blu-ray in 2022.
