Just heard that Kino is doing a dvd of this 1924 Conrad Vedit/
Robert Wiene film. No date has been set but the restored FW Murnau
Stiftung print will be used and there may be additional footage from
another source. This is a very underrated film and I'm looking
forward to it finally getting a first class dvd treatment. Perhaps if
it does well, we can expect other Veidt titles to make it to dvd. I'd
love to see a good copy of that most bizarre of films, OPIUM.

Fantastic news! The only version I've seen of this is LSVideo's
print, far from ideal to say the least, so I'm really excited about
this one. I'm wondering what footage is missing from the restoration
that would have to be culled from another source...?

Great news indeed, though I hope Kino don't retain the avant-garde
"music" track (choruses of laughter, etc.) that German TV had when
they broadcast a restored version a few years ago.

God, I would hope not. The very worst part of that sound track is
when Orlac is being interrogated at the police station and we hear a
halt dozen simultaneous "news" broadcasts in the background (all
babbling about people who have lost their hands).
