Viewing Notes
Celebrating the 100th anniversary of this classic. Joe Bob detailed all the insane problems with getting this movie made and all the test screenings, edits, rewrites and reshoots before it got released. And we don’t even know if the version we have today is the one that was released when it first came out! They aired the same version I have on DVD from Kino Lorber but I’m not sure if I’ve watched it with the same score. It may have multiple scores on the disc.
