Copies of export versions have
survived in various film archives worldwide,
4
00:00:39,875 --> 00:00:44,125
but these were all shortened and in some
cases the sequence of scenes has been changed.

of the original in black-and-white for the Deutsche Kinemathek.

At that time, the intertitles could only be
obtained via back-translations from various languages.

The revision in this edition was inspired by the discovery of
the censorship office card for THE ANCIENT LAW.

With its help, not only the
original wording of the intertitles,
9
00:01:09,375 --> 00:01:14,917

German premiere version could be reconstructed.

vintage nitrate prints in color
11
00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:26,333
of the Swedish, French, Russian,
American and Italian export versions,
12
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:36,750
The length of the world premiere print
has been restored in the reconstruction.
13
00:01:37,042 --> 00:01:42,167

on the Swedish and American versions.
