European or American Version?


Does anyone know yet if the discovered print is the edited American version or the European Version? I hope that with it being in Europe it will be the unedited version where the kisses between Swanson and Valentino were allowed to run beyond ten feet of film.

Thanks for that link :D
I didn't understand it all but what I did was very interesting.
It looks like some great work being done there sorting through the collection.

This print had Dutch title cards, that were changed to English for this release. So I'm guessing it is the European print.

Since whatever link used to be in this thread is gone, for posterity I'll put in the TCM link, which has some useful background info (and yes, it's the Netherlands version with the supposedly longer kisses, although I don't remember noticing that when I saw it back in 2005).
