List of version films

The list of version films contains version films whose foreign-language versions as a complete film or at least whose dialogue scenes were newly shot in the respective target language. This method of film translation was widespread at the beginning of the sound film era , with US film companies primarily producing multi-language versions between 1929 and 1931, whereas in Europe this export strategy reached its peak between 1931 and 1933. After that, film synchronization prevailed as a more cost-effective variant in the large linguistic areas .

The first version film was commissioned by the Scottish producer John Maxwell in the Elstree Studios of British International Pictures northwest of London, where the German director Ewald André Dupont not only shot Atlantic in English in the summer of 1929 , but also a German language version Atlantik , the first German sound film. A few months later, a French version was produced there in the same setting with small changes to the plot. The revue film Paramount on Parade (1930) is described as the film with the most language versions . In this variety show with the then popular stars from Paramount and many guest stars in the various versions, a native speaker led through the action as master of ceremonies. The film historian Nataša Durovicová names up to 13 language versions, whereby the English primary version as well as the Spanish and Japanese versions were made in Hollywood and the film scholar Dr. Chris Wahl reports that Paramount had a German, French, Italian, Dutch, Romanian and Czech version made in Joinville.

Many of the multi- language versions (MLV) are among the lost films , including a particularly large number of language versions of Les Films Paramounts that were shot in the Joinville studios.
