11
00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:16,900

of “Dr Jekyll” remained undiscovered for a long time.

20
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,810
The 35 mm copy found contains several cuts,
which makes the action inconsistent.

21
00:02:26,830 --> 00:02:29,400
But this version is almost complete,

22
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:34,570
