In 1952, “the commentary rewritten images in 1915. Guitry says his mistrust for a single image, which can not be a fair … Those of us is a dual film. It is 1952, which justifies the genius of 1915 and made a film, instead of a “pure” document archive. Bernard Eisenschitz, in al. Sacha Guitry, Filmmaker.
