 reveals it is based on an operetta, which  in turn was based on Shakespeares "The Taming Of The Shrew". The  first third (almost all of the sequences in the castle) survives,  followed by a series of takes of low comedy [princes servant and  kitchen maids] scenes, followed by the last segment of the film (the  forest scenes). Anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour is missing  in the middle of the film. No shooting script or review exists so  timing is not certain. The DVD runs for about 75 minutes and is all  we have left of the film. This information was derived from Jean and  Dale Drums biography of Carl Dreyer: MY ONLY GREAT PASSION.
