Two differences between this Austrian version and the generally available American version are immediately obvious: they differ both in their length and in the language of the intertitles. The American version is only 1,883 metres long - at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the Austrian version with 2,045 metres. Whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference, resulting from the varying length of the intertitles, a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the Austrian version differs from the American version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes. Yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical US silent film was longer than the "original version"?
The prevalent American version of Blind Husbands does not correspond to the version shown at the premiere of 1919. This little-known fact was already published by Richard Koszarski in 1983. The film was re-released by Universal Pictures in 1924, in a version that was 1,365 feet (416 metres) shorter. At 18 frames per second, this amounts to a time difference of 20 minutes! "Titles were altered, snippets of action removed and at least one major scene taken out entirely, where von Steuben and Margaret visit a small local chapel." (Koszarski)
From the present state of research we can assume that all the known American copies of the film derive from this shortened re-release version, a copy of which Universal donated to the Museum of Modern Art in 1941. According to Koszarski the original negative of the film was destroyed sometime between 1956 and 1961 and has therefore been irretrievably lost. This information casts an interesting light on the Austrian version, which can be dated to the period between the summer of 1921 and the winter of 1922. Furthermore, the copy is some 200 metres longer than the US version of 1924. If one follows the details given by Richard Koszarski and Arthur Lennig, this means that, as far as both its date and its length are concerned, the Austrian version lies almost exactly in the middle between the (lost) version shown at the premiere and the re-released one.A large part of the additional length of the film can be traced to cuts that were made to the 1924 version in almost every shot. Koszarski describes how the beginning and the end of scenes were trimmed, in order to "speed up" the film. However, more exciting was the discovery that the Austrian version contains shots that are missing in the American one - shots/countershots, intertitles - and furthermore shows differences in its montage (i.e. the placing of the individual shots within a sequence). All this indicates that Die Rache der Berge constitutes the oldest and most completely preserved material of the film.
简简单单讲一个故事，很有美式西部片的味道，挺喜欢的
非常硬派的西部片，一个男人，守护他的孩子、领地和些许正义，结局太伤了
2021.10.28比利小子隐姓埋名被麻烦找上门解决麻烦自己也被解决
The destiny are those what Desgniated to happen
看了“比利小子”的历史后顿觉本片又精彩了几分，特别是老演员和真实的“比利小子”的脸型非常相似，但是又是一张非常丧的老农民的脸，这使他最后决战时的英姿显得尤为帅气。舞剑之人必死于剑下，在江湖上混早晚都是要还的，片中的那对渊源在我看来实在是一个十分浪漫的宿命安排。
西部片，一个深藏功与名隐身西部农场前江湖杀手的故事。剧情不紧凑，前面有些散漫，许多对话亦不精彩。后面枪战戏不错，比较干脆利落。故事中儿子的设置没必要，反而拖累剧情。
几个演员，简单的剧本，不过节奏把握得很好，同类佳作
孩子真可怜，刚发现一个新爸爸，很快又失去了。
开完会冒烟的左轮，击中会炸飞的双管，开垦却不发芽的土地，
前半部分一直在吐槽儿子，最后老亨利一段话觉得原来培养一个平凡普通的儿子是他的欣慰之处，老亨利果然很能打，一个打九个很可以！高手身上总有种又稳又坦荡的感觉！
每當西部片中的少年變成了牛仔，男孩變成了男人，也就意味著可以結束了。簡單的故事無法抵銷對西部片的熾熱情懷。沒有女主但有女人。
味道很浓的西部片，同样是一个人干掉一个团伙，但是比小人物、疾速追杀这种无脑爽片有味道
蛮荒的西部故事。从始至终，所有的动作处理都很朴实，没有什么过多的花哨耍帅。甚至结尾的枪战戏也被处理得有些潦草寒酸了。不过，还算是部合格的西部片。三星半
节奏太喜欢了 特别棒的沉默寡言的柔情故事男的西部Home Defense的故事
好久没见的这么标准的西部片，而且还排出了武侠片片的感觉
虽然节奏有点慢，但真的非常非常喜欢，亨利不帅，但是在他的专业领域帅呆了！真正的西部片，只是估计为了还原那个年代，很多英文不是听得很明白
三星半，传统好莱坞动作片内核：传奇特工退隐江湖———一帮人找上门———传奇特工宝刀未老屠杀一切。 传奇特工可以是任何人，可以是现代CIA，也可以是西部牛仔………
