Remarks
- ↑ Since many of the films from this time are considered lost, no more precise statement can be made about the number of parts. However, the information provided by the source regarding the serial number may not be correct. You can use the number of the censorship card to determine the order in which the films were submitted. The numbers in brackets are therefore the more likely ones, unless there are other films to be found.
