Around 1950, a French film historian,
Lo Duca, discovered the second negative in the vaults of Gaumont Studios, in pristine condition. Sadly, he created his own version, changing the original and including a score that was a montage of
Tomaso Albinoni,
Antonio Vivaldi, and other Baroque composers. Intertitles were done away with and replaced with subtitles, and the film opens in a voice-over.
Bill Tarling was horrified and disowned Duca's version.
