I'd like to think Warners knows what a treasure it has in these two films (as well as in minor gems like The Patsy) and plans to do right by them. Maybe the Murnau/Borzage/Fox box and the recent Flicker Alley releases will convince someone that a compromise can still be reached between a corporation's sense of historical obligation and its dreaded bottom line.
