Twilight Time > BFI >> Kino Lorber/MoC





Director: George Melford
Kino Lorber OOP Blu-ray is exactly the same restoration as the later Paramount Blu-ray, however Paramount Blu-ray runs at a much faster 24fps while Kino Lorber runs at 21fps. According to Paul Cuff's research into the correct fps and length, Kino Lorber is closest to the original 22fps by repeating frames to achieve 21fps in 24fps.
Kino Lorber has the same Bellon score as Paramount VHS and Paramount Blu-ray, but obviously Paramount Blu-ray runs a faster tempo due to changed fps
The Bellon score never uses the “Kashmiri Song” that is cited in the film’s intertitles and sung by Valentino on screen. This may well be because the intertitles of the VHS version (for which the score was composed) are from the reissue print, which changes the wording of the Sheik’s song—and thus loses the context of the original song.
While no substitute for a real orchestra, the theatre organ score by Ben Model for the Kino Lorber edition at least quotes the “Kashmiri Song” at the appropriate moments.
