Hi! Thank you for your interest! You are absolutely right, but, unfortunately, it is impossible to buy "The Blacksmith" exactly in this version. As you may know, for a long time "The Blacksmith" was represented by a prerelease version of 1921, which began with the poem "The Village Blacksmith" by Longfellow. In 2016, BluRay was released with the final version of the film (1922), recently discovered in Europe. In this version scenes with a soiled horse were replaced with chase scenes, but the introduction with Longfellow's verses was missing, perhaps because "The Village Blacksmith" familiar to every American schoolboy wasn't familiar to the European audience. However, according to the American press-reviews of 1922, the American final release of "The Blacksmith" had this intro, as it was with the pre-release version. So we took the liberty to combine the versions and, as we hope, restore the film to the way Keaton released it. Nevertheless, you can find both versions on this great BluRay box set: www.amazon.com/Buster-Keaton-Collection-1917-1923-Blu-ray/dp/B01CJCQG22 (region A/1) or www.amazon.com/Complete-BUSTER-1917-1923-Masters-Blu-ray/dp/B01DLOVNMK/ (region B/2)

Hi, thanks for your information. Appreciated very much, thanks for the links. I tried to order the KINO edition (the 1st link), but it is not able to deliver to kyoto-japan. So i ordered the BUSTER KEATON MASTER OF CINEMA box set (the 2nd link you gave).. now im so excited for the box set to arrive.. it said that is includes a booklet too. Thank you very much for your info. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@worldofbusterkeaton That's great! And actually there isn't just a booklet, it's 186-pages book with a lot of photos and interesting articles about Keaton's life and films :)

(so romantic!) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psVketVzzNTagoE.html&has_verified=1

@@busterkeatonvk Thanks for posting this version. I was just reading that there were different versions and I wondered what alternate scenes there were. I like the inclusion of the chase scenes and more interaction with the love interest. It seemed like this one filled some gaps from the other version I watched. But I also appreciate the joke connecting messing up a beautiful white horse as well as messing up a beautiful white car. Though it was painful to see such beautiful things get ruined. lol
