The restored original version came from an 8mm film found in Argentina. And no, they didn't hack our voting. TCM's intro tells us the journey of the film and it makes this movie more interesting. We learn it had to be shot in Argentina because 1) political climate inUS, 2) no actors would work in it for fear of being blackballed. The second reason made the author play the role, so: he's not an actor, and secondly, he was 20 years older than the role. So, the film has nobody actors and show in another land with stolen shots from Chicago thrown in. The history and script made this movie for me.
