I saw this film in Madison WI last winter and they had a 35mm print and a live pianist playing the score. It definitely was a great experience.
I am totally in support of your project! It has to be better than that awful score the Kino VHS release has. (I put the tv on mute after 5 minutes and watched it in slience).
Hmm...I need to put in my C4 game and see how the music is.
