Of course, it's easier to use Calvert footage since that footage has been animated. I felt that this was a little joke that made the scene more interesting .... I wasn't suggesting that Nanny hates Tack, but that she was getting impatient with all this romantic goings on - "Just get in the bath" .... I thought it was amusing, and it had finished animation.
But another major reason I used this take on the scene was that - if you check the Calvert work in progress reel - the shot of Nanny tapping her foot appears as a pencil test, and there is some evidence that it was actually a Williams shot, that Dick had added this bit of comic business to the scene. The Calvert WIP suggests that Dick's version had been revised, and could actually have played out similarly to how I present it in the Recobbled Cut. Then again, that could be a VERY rare example of a Calvert pencil test in the WIP - but there's only about 2 examples of that.
Either way I thought the bit was harmless and didn't alter the Nurse's character completely.

The "Cannes" cover was by a fellow named Omar - mori [at] itn.is - He's a writer and actor in Iceland and a very talented cover designer.

It's my favorite cover for The Thief that's been done besides my own. I actually wanted to do a "Cannes" type cover for the film, having that "Book" look to it, but never did. Omar's version is similar to what I might have done, except that I don't actually like the art on the Cannes poster .... which is why I drew my own cover in the first place. Omar also didn't use the common Thief logo, feeling the version in existence was too low quality. (This was before macronencer's version of it turned up!)
I only have the tiny preview versions of that cover - I never got a big version, probably because I still considered my version the definitive cover.
I've emailed Omar and asked him for a copy of it - also letting him know about macronencer's logo scan.
Come to think of it, there's another fellow I need to write who had a scan of the logo with the Thief coming out of the O that I never got ....
Here's his effort at a cover for The Thief - Mr. Mark Smith.

Not the best cover, but the artwork and text on it is very rare, all from pressbooks for The Thief and the Cobbler and The Thief Who Never Gave Up. This is the only scan I've ever seen of the Thief coming out of the O logo. I need a better copy of these pressbooks!
