Recently, I purchased a 6x 200' (yes - TWO hundred foot)black and white silent film called "Variety" which involves a troup of trapeze artists and there are some spectacular shots of them summersalting through the air at great heights.
When I went to find out more information, I came across the full film on Youtube and it appears there possibly should have been an extra couple of reels as the film runs about 15 minutes further on than mine. My copy is from the "collector's club" collection.
Does anyone know if there IS indeed a reel 7 and reel 8 or have I got all of it that was released?

According to the IMDb, the original ran for 112 minutes but there was a shortened version running for 72. It's a classic German film apparently. Collector's Club issued some great films.
