VERSIONS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES OF EARLY TALKIES

[feaito]

By the way, did anyone see Laurel & Hardy's shorts/films in foreign languages last month? I recall that TCM aired quite a few....any thoughts?. I'm curious since I haven't see any of them.

There is a very obscure one I am trying to track down but which is likely impossible to find. The Czech producer Albert Semak created two alternate language versions of the Hungarian play “Hyppolit the Butler”. The Hungarian one is quite famous in Hungary but the German language version (he and his butler) seems impossible to find and certainly doesn’t seem to be highly regarded in Germany itself.

The Hungarian film is one of my favorite dvds which I own.
