I do think you shouldn't disregard Wexler's contributions to Days of Heaven (and American film in general). Having a chance to revisit Days of Heaven it didn't quite enthrall me as I perhaps expected it to. Even though Criterion will do a better job than the Paramount dvd, I still get a little irked when easily available films get "The Criterion Treatment" over completely unavailable or films with poor picture and audio quality and impossible to read subtitled VHS tapes.
