A '''multiple-language version film'''
The idea of whether these were different / recut versions of the same film or separate films in their own right is open to debate and interpretation by the viewer. Filming in different years could be used as the basis for this as clearly two versions of a film 10 years apart are considered separate films. However, ''The Tunnel'' was filmed three times (1933 Germany, 1933 France, 1935 England) with two in the same year and another 2 years apart making the determination difficult for these cases.
[[Musical film|Musicals]] in particular proliferated during the early talkie era, partially because between-song, plot-driven narration could often be easily replaced with [[intertitle]]s or, as in the case with MLVs, be reshot using local actors. Numerous internationally renowned artists worked on MLVs, some repeatedly. Many are still widely known to modern audiences, including [[Marlene Dietrich]], [[Greta Garbo]], [[Alfred Hitchcock]], [[Buster Keaton]], [[Fritz Lang]] and [[John Wayne]]. [[Hal Roach]] was a great proponent of MLVs and an early adopter of the practice. Within a two-year period between 1929 and 1931 he oversaw the production of many of them for his top acts, including [[Laurel and Hardy]], [[Charley Chase]], [[Harry Langdon]] and [[Our Gang]].
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
Although a vast number of MLVs were made, many of the early export versions are [[Lost film|thought lost]] and relatively few are available today. Some notable exceptions are ''[[Anna Christie (1930 film)|Anna Christie]]'' (1930); ''[[The Blue Angel]]'' (1930); ''[[Dracula (1931 English-language film)|Dracula]]'''s Spanish-language incarnation, ''[[Dracula (1931 Spanish-language film)|Drácula]]'' (1931); ''[[M (1931 film)|M]]'' (1931); ''[[The Threepenny Opera (1931 film)|The Threepenny Opera]]'' (1931) and various Laurel and Hardy films.
Within a few years the practice had peaked, largely because of the additional production complications and expenses incurred, along with improvements in [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbing]] and [[Subtitles|subtitling]] techniques. Many multiple-language version films were US-European co-productions and the [[Nazi Party|Nazis]]' rise to power in the early 1930s effectively sealed their fate. European co-productions continued on a reduced scale through until the end of the 1950s before dying out almost completely. In [[India]], however, multiple-language versions [[List of multilingual Indian films|are still produced on a semi-regular basis]], particularly in the case of big budget epics.
