has the most on it in a simple search.

There might be a third term, in addition to lost film, and extant,
like: extant but with intertitles in a relatively obscure language that few can read.

Adding my thanks for posting this. Never can see too many films about besotted chemists.

Some really interesting stuff, I wonder if the "India" scenes came from another film? Seem a bit extravagant for something like this. Also love the hurricane winds in the interior scenes, presumably from an open air set.

Wind blowing through early sets can be quite amusing. In Helen Gardner's CLEOPATRA it animates the costumes in the outdoor scenes, but it is laughable to see draperies flutter in a supposedly sealed tomb.

The best example is in a British film where the set was so cold that breath was visible.
