 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 Napoloen,  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 perfomances went ahead with Davis score being  used, although the dispute remains unresolved. It is uncertain whether Davis  score will ever be heard again while the dispute remains ongoing.
