<pre>Die Finanzen des GroÃherzogs (1924)
Les finances du grand duc
The Finances of the Grand Duke
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0014900/
-->>>WHATISIT ?
With revolt and bankruptcy threatening the tiny nation of Abacco, Grand Duke Don Ramon XX (Harry Liedtke) must keep his country's creditors at bay while seducing rich Russian princess Olga (Mady Christians) and foiling the plans of a crazy trio of conspirators.
The silent farcical thriller marks a lighter change of pace for director F.W. Murnau, the brilliant German master behind Sunrise, The Last Laugh and Nosferatu the Vampire.
capture : TNT (french dvb-T)
77 mn / 640*480 / xvid 2-pass /1750 kb / 20 fps / mpeg2 stereo 192k (kept from source)
DUAL GERMAN/FRENCH INTERTITLES
-->>>WTF ? 20 FPS ??
YES. If you don't know silents weren't shot @ 24 fps, it's time to read a bit.
in short : dupe frames removed from source with srestore avisynth script
-->>> ENGLISH SUBS ??
Arte is dual french/german tv channel, remember :)
please note this title will be released on dvd by Kino in March 2009. so you'll get english translation then. although there are chances the original german intertitles will be directly replaced with english as Kino already did (jerks!) on some other silents...
BUT ->> there are also english fansubs translated from spanish / synched to some previous vhsrip, you can try to work with those eventually...

and now, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
