Unfortunately, no good prints of this Fairbanks’ film have survived. The only original print on 35mm that we could locate was found in Italy, at the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana di Milano; this tinted print, with italian intertitles was the source of the version that we can show today. The print was not made from the original camera negative, but from a dupe negative, made in the silent era; this is the reason for the low quality of the images of this versios; most probably this was due to the fact that the film was released in Italy in the Twenties, when Fairbanks was already famous.
