Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
到底还是印证了那句老话，能成为密友大概总带着爱。
可能这就是给Rom com吧咱也不懂但男二未免有点太炮灰了，整个作用就是让男主在一起是吗
太cliche了，中间一顿快进，还好最后接吻了，不然我要掀桌了！
有点温馨，James是真的帅！室友往爱人发展，成了那就是主角这样，不成那就是杭州婆与关晓彤的故事。
太难看了。网飞是不是以为拍什么用户都照单全收？应季的电影一年比一年难看……全员挤在一起念台词，完全没有剧情可言，没有一个喜剧的演员存在，强行搞笑实在难看。
老套的圣诞爱情故事，Nick我真的好想占有他，太完美了
有点温馨，James是真的帅！室友往爱人发展，成了那就是主角这样，不成那就是杭州婆与关晓彤的故事。

至少这部片选对了送给观众们的男二，有异性恋圣诞爱情片的味儿了😏
佳节共赏，温馨浪漫“大俗戏”。但一个普世价值的童话故事，在被疫情偷走了俩年后就真的很需要啊！珍妮佛库雷子真的是gay icon！
没想到一部集圣诞节（本该欢乐），同志（足够可），爱情（无论nick还是james，盲选都可以），家庭（peace到爆的家人）于一体的电影，居然难看到这种地步~~
两星给gay主流爱情片。
