    The only remaining element is a 16mm element - hence, the 1.33:1 framing - of the sound element for which there was no audio. The intertitles for the silent version have been inserted referencing German censorship records while the "sound" version is silent with English subtitles synchronized to the mouth movements. Neither version features any musical accompaniment.

    Comes with an O-Card slipcase featuring new artwork by Scott Saslow and a collector’s booklet featuring a new extended essay on Sirk’s early works by German cinema expert Tim Bergfelder.
