I’m sure the broadcaster could repay any favours…

(Some say the channel may have had problems securing the version it showed at the festival; it belongs to the Museum of Modern Art, which apparently is extremely protective of such properties where broadcasting is concerned.) The version we saw had such a poor audio track that it made Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell sound as they had been diminished into Munchkins waist-high to Kristin Chenoweth.
