Make sure this is the edition of CALIGARI you order: http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?film_id=42
http://www.amazon.com/Cabinet-Dr-Caligari-Restored-Authorized/dp/B00006JMQG Can I also humbly suggest that you look at some of the other wonderful releases of German Expressionist films that Kino has put out recently? Here's their full list of films from Germany: http://www.kino.com/video/results.php?search_type=Country&search=Germany&country_id=7 In almost all cases these represent HUGE upgrades from versions available previously on VHS. Many of them are based on the most recent restorations from the Murnau-Stiftung in Germany. The one I'm really excited about is the longer version of METROPOLIS getting released in theaters and later on DVD/Blu-ray this fall. Cheers, James -- James M.
