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.
不断的火化和不断的厄运，更多的巧合即是有意，留给观者对恶的想象空间是此悬疑片的高明之处
挺喜欢这种节奏的电影，循环递进层层深入，但这电影质量本身就差了。
实在是难看到家了，首先故事没有波澜，叙事一段一段，其次男主的面瘫演技，直到浴衣床戏，或许才达到了他个人演技的巅峰。
很奇怪的电影，反转反转再反转，出人意料的结尾，确实没想到，但剧情实在不敢恭维
在看的过程中不断在想，这个世界太多导演了，以至于大家混淆了到底什么才算艺术品。放了一个屁，运气好时也能被称之为艺术家。
这俩人是搭伙了吗？俩片水准差不多，但这部第二个杀手表演太难看了，有点看不下去。
厄运还是阴谋，仁者见仁，智者见智。恐怖的不是妖魔鬼怪，而是人心的阴暗，为女主鸣不平，细思极恐的结局值两星
一个吻引发的血案！？开始女主出现的时候我以为她就是男主老婆来着，结果不是？那场面镜头表达真的让人误会啊！结局其实挺好的，谁对谁错每个人理解不一样。男主老归老，但是真的很有味道啊。女主傻怂美？！
比《新秩序》好看，后期两次亮底牌让人物动机变得合理，也给叙事带来节奏起伏，前半段漫无目的的闲游+艳遇也非常自然畅快，其实片名就已剧透，这样安置在尾端的反转，让故事讽刺又合情，8/10。
天怒即正义，以牙还牙，以命偿命，所以都是作家杀的，不过里面的侦查漏洞挺多，所以，总的来说一般般。
这剧情把警察写的像傻子，没有警惕性。前面无聊，后面逻辑性不够。
# 78 Venezia # 最爱的导演从不会令人失望！ 依然是各种突如其来的反转，依然是不可有任何剧透的佳作，依然是看到结尾才会恍然大悟惊叹整个剧本的闭环，心甘情愿一直被弗兰科M，只可惜观影时赶上体力和精神最差的状态，需要二刷和三刷
真有个同学是这样。学校周日晚上进去周五放出来。她说双休日已经有同居男友了，再在学校找个周间男友。好自私好可怕。
看到这片标签里有“没演技”，感觉挺惊讶的，在我看来这部情节平平的片子最大亮点就是三男一女四个主角，每个人都演出了很酷的感觉，特别是老巴和格里罗，亦正亦邪的演出都突破自我以往的银幕形象，更不用说那个癫狂了一把的小胡子，他出现以后所有人的风头都给他抢去了。可以说是这几个角色拯救了这部本来平淡无奇的影片。国外媒体评论也多持赞扬肯定态度。
呵呵，男人控制不住自己的言行导致了家庭悲剧把锅甩到女主身上，还觉得自己报复有理？？？有病。
和故事一样正今晚已凌晨两点，一样的夜晚
一直觉得Frank Grillo是个很不错的演员，有好几部电影锋芒都快要盖过男主角了，可惜少了一点运气，始终徘徊在一線边缘。这一部我也是衝着他去看的，也不知道他的戲份如此重（可是海報裡卻只站在角落小小一個）可惜這剧本太弱，几个人在荒芜的警察局里面就这样毫无意义的厮杀！？人物刻画也不够深刻…… 除了女主角饰演的警察之外，其他个个警察都像没有脑袋瓜的傻子任由坏人宰杀……实在是无语。
为什么是癌症啊（恼）整个画面挺美的，很加分
呵呵呵…反转反转再反转，可能你们眼中的大师之作就长这个样子吧。
我只想知道结局到底是啥，谁是真凶？？这个开放结局真的看的有点迷糊。
