The Filmmuseum in Amsterdam has a copy of this amusing silent film.
mikasparky9 May 2008
The quality of the film that the FILMMUSEUM possesses is quite good, though the ending is a bit truncated, and, since it is a silent, there is no soundtrack associated with it, not even music. They can provide it on a disk for a fee in PAL format. King Baggot and William Robert Daly are in especially rare form in this picture, with King Baggot playing a comedic role as a hapless soul, and William Robert Daly, particularly resplendent in evening clothes and a top hat during most of the picture, playing the very outgoing brother of Louise. It is quite plain to even the casual observer that Baggot and Daly work very well together (as they did for many years in films that are, unfortunately, lost to time). Though the title cards are in Dutch, it's not terribly hard to get the gist of this rather amusing tale. The quality of the copy is quite good, too, considering the age of the film.
