funny to complain about sound in a film that is supposed to be silent. i put a lot of work into this. i found long ago that i enjoyed silent films more with music i like, so i started re-soundtracking old films with music i like. i hoped to introduce people into the world of silent films who might never have given them a second look just because they did not like the old music. i am a film archivist so i understand the preservation of art. i made this english version by adding english story cards. i didnt mean to offend anyone

The music track constitutes an attack on the film. No one ought to welcome this aggressively philistine approach to the circulation of historic films.
