"The Mystery of the Double Cross" is a silent serial broken into many parts. According to IMDb, all the segments exist today...so why did Alpha Video put ONLY episode 14 on the disc?! Because of this, you really have no idea what's been going on nor what's going on in the film. Additionally, the print isn't great...and that makes reading the intertitle cards a bit difficult. The bottom line is that the version found on "Thrillers of the Silent Screen" is a mess...and one that really is impossible to rate. While I have no idea where to find the rest of the film, don't waste your time with the crappy Alpha version. It's really a shame, as what I did see seemed interesting and reasonably well made...though this sort of thing doesn't surprise me much about Alpha.
