See the restored version on TCM., 20 September 2000
Author: lartronic from Akron, Ohio

The restored version that is currently shown on TCM from time to time is the only version worth watching. While it's not complete, it has more footage than the print that has been floating around since 1925. The restored version runs a good 4 hours, with stills and titles, and is beautifully tinted. If you plan on seeing this, see the restored one, it is truly a powerful film.
