In the early years of sound era, film producers often made films in different language versions, using the same sets but different cast for each version. The practice died out in the mid-1930s, but the few films which survive in both versions offer fascinating material for comparison. G W Pabst's twin version of The Threepenny Opera shot in German and French are now available for the first time on a two-disc set and make absorbing viewing. Set in a shadowy, stylised and dreamlike Victorian London, the story of Mackie 'The Knife' Messer and Polly Peachum is timeless, and the combination of Bertolt Brecht's biting social satire and Kurt Weill's compelling music is as fresh as ever.
