Note that the movie is presented with a framing device of an older Lola Montes appearing at a circus, with a series of re-creations of scenes from her life; when the movie was shown to U.S. audiences four years later, it was both censored and re-edited so that the scenes were presented in chronological order. Eventually, most of the original movie was reconstructed, and in 2008, a striking new Technicolor print was created.
