I'm sure no one comes to this site, seeeing as this movie only has 60 votes, but if you do come here and read this could you clear me up on something? This right here says that the main characters are named Ida and Viktor but the version they showed on TCM had their names as Mary and John. Can someone tell me why this could be? Why are there 2 versions w/ the exact same characters, plot, actors, and the masterful director Carl Theodor Dreyer but the characters have vastly different names?

It is not only the TCM version, but the English version of the movie in general where the characters have different names. I saw the English version projected from an old print of the film that the Danish Film Institute had in storage, and I was confused as well.

This is fixed on the new intertitles on BFI's version, which - btw - also comes with Skjødts "My Metier" and Dreyer shorts "They caught the ferry" and "Mødrehjælpen".
The correct names, of course, being a Danish film, are Ida and Viktor.

Try Franz Schubert and his Symphony #8 in b minor. The music on the soundtrack is a near note-for-note piano reduction of the symphony.

Yes, and the daughter is "Kathleen" in the English version.
What was so strange about the name Karen???

I would also like to know where I could get the soundtrack, that is for the English TCM version. I don't know if the danish soundtrack is different because I haven't seen it but I doubt it. Anyone know?

Two of you folks have expressed interest in the music for the TCM "version" of Dreyer's "Master of the House". The music used for a good portion of the film is original, but there is a lengthy and almost intact piano version of Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" also played. This is familiar music, used in many films, silent and otherwise. I don't mean to sound pedantic, but the Schubert work is titled Symphony #8 in b minor. There are many recordings of it.

People who say "I don't mean to sound pedantic, but..." are by definition pedants.
Oh damn, I must be one too.

It was shown again & this time Janus. The very first scene was cut. It says 6:30 am & shows the woman starting her day. somehow it was cut.
