DAS CABINET DES DR. CALIGARI

ROBERT WIENE
     58 m.
Synopsis
For years this film was known only in black and white. There has long been a quest to restore it to its original tinting. The first big colour restoration was unveiled by the Koblenz Bundesarchiv in 1984, working from two tinted nitrate prints, one from the National Film Archive in London, in very good condition; and one from SODRE in Montevideo, which was in bad condition, but its beautiful colours provided valuable information on the different colour effects. (...) The primary material for the new reconstruction has been three tinted nitrate copies that were not consulted for previous restorations: a different print from Montevideo, in better condition than the one previously used by the Bundesarchiv; a complete tinted and toned nitrate print, with French and German titles, from the Cinémathèque Royale in Brussels; and a fragment from a tinted print from the Cineteca Italiana in Milan.
