I'm currently sorting through the silent era, so this one was of particular interest. I think it's important to make a distinction between the 1927 and 1928 versions of this film. It's a shame, I think, that the 1928 version held sway for so long. Do you know what the motivation was for doing the re-release? Also, what happened in 2004 to bring the original version back to light? Well done as usual, sir! I’m currently sorting through the silent era, so this one was of particular interest.

Do you know what the motivation was for doing the re-release? Also, what happened in 2004 to bring the original version back to light?
