For their help accessing archival material, my thanks to Luciano Palumbo and Carmen Prokopiak of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung (Germany), and to Phil Wickham and the staff of the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum (UK).Notes1 I cannot find any evidence in the film (or in contemporary press material) to confirm Bergfelder et al.’s claim that the musical clock plays this waltz melody (2007, 153). Schmidt-Gentner’s score is lost, but in Maurice Jaubert’s score—written for performances of the film in Paris in 1929 and recorded for broadcast in 2000—the melody is different from Nina’s waltz theme.Additional informationNotes on contributorsPaul CuffPaul Cuff is a film historian from the UK whose work focuses mainly on silent cinema.
