If one must sell the restoration of a Jean-Luc Godard film and the original trailer for said film was, in fact, cut together by Godard himself, why not use it?

David Bordwell discusses the women crime writers of the 1940s and 1950s:
You might say that Double Indemnity and Out of the Past are quintessentially 1940s-1950s films, and I’d agree. But so too are works based on women writers. The list of Highsmith adaptations, starting with Strangers on a Train (1951), is too long to recite here, but let’s remember that...
