Many people have voted for this film, but I can't find any kind of DVD / VHS / anything anywhere.According to Silent Era website a print exists in a museum. Where have you all seen this one? Please let me know, and upload to archive if you have a legal copy! Thanks!

1.what do you mean by legal copy? a 1919 film should be public domain
2.most of those aren't really people
3.I have seen this at home on computer

1. By legal I mean not illegal. I'm not aware about every legislation in every country on Earth. One should also remember copyrighted sound/music et cetera added later than 1923.

2. That's interesting. Do you mean that there are automated voting-programs or what? Why that? Why just this film, there are many films that only I have voted (or I + max 3 others).

3. That means that there is a copy. Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

4. You have seen unbelievable amount of films.

2. Yes, there are several movies, that you can't find at all, overstuffed with high votes from bogus profiles (why wouldn't there? you don't have to provide your ID to register)

That's also true for some old movies (either a ton of 1/10 or 7-8-10/10 for otherwise unremarkable films is what I've seen)
Here are the most prominent "overrated" ones from the 1910s other than this movie:

3. Glad to have been of service. It's some sort of DVD, but the quality is not that

4. I've only seen about 5000 long films :)
Most of the ratings are for shorts/TV episodes

DVD For Better, for Worse (1919) is on sale on eBay by Silent Hall of Fame Enterprises. Check out the other rare films in their Silent Gems Collection.

DVD was produced via Kickstarter in 2015 with a copy bought from a collector in UK. Only US archive that holds a copy of the film is Eastman House, which does not sell copies from its archive. Film is in the public domain. BEWARE THE BOOTLEG COPY ON EBAY.
