 A copyright dispute over which music soundtrack should be performed  with "Napoleon" exists between Zoetrope Studio/Francis Ford Coppola  and the BFI/Kevin Brownlow/Carl Davis. When Brownlow assembled the  original restored version in 1981 two scores were eventually  produced, one (for the American market?) by Carmine Coppola  (Francis father and composer of the Godfather scores) and another  (for the UK market?) by Carl Davis, veteran of many new scores for  old silent movies. Prior to two live performances of the Davis score  in December 2004 to accompany a new 5hr+ restoration of Napoleon,  Coppola attempted to prevent the performances going ahead without  his late fathers score on the grounds that his family owns the  copyright over the film, even though Carmine Coppolas score was  written for the short 4hr restoration. In the end the performances  went ahead with Davis score being used, although the dispute  remains unresolved. Brownlow commented on this issue (comparing  Coppolas behavior to that of Goebbels) before Davis himself  conducted the two London performances. (Davis was recovering from a  foot operation and was brought on stage in a wheelchair.)
