"This version of Warning Shadows (Schatten) is based on a comparison of all existing copies, two main sources in particular: an original print, tinted and with French intertitles, from the Cinémathèque Française, and a dupe negative of an American theatrical version from the Museum of Modern Art. This restored edition contains no intertitles, in keeping with the original German version of the film, which premiered in October, 1923"--Screen.
