Preservation

Happiness Ahead is now a lost film save for the footage from its trailer.[3][4] Moore was married to the film's producer John McCormick and they held rights to their films. Moore donated copies of her films to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), but over the years the archive allowed the films to decay including Happiness Ahead. The trailer was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2009.[5]
