Film notes

This version has been reconstructed by the Münchner Filmmuseum from a negative having French and Swedish flash titles which is deposited at the Cinémathèque Française. By using the german censorship papers, the Filmmuseum could reconstruct the text of the original intertitles.
The film was savagely censored almost in every country, as stated in an article on La Revue du Cinéma (5/1/1930) and in this review on Variety (12/11/29): “Better for Louise Brooks had she contented exhibiting that supple form in two-reel comedies or light Paramount features. Pandora’s Box, a rambling thing that doesn’t help her, nevertheless proves that Miss Broaks is not a dramatic lead. […] Management at this house blames the N.Y. censor for having to end everything with Pandora and boy joining the Salvation Army. Mr Aljoscha Zimmermann will play the score he camposed for “Il cinema ritrovato”.
