The Perils of Pauline

There never was a scene in this serial with Pauline tied to railroad tracks, either in the footage that survives or in that which does not. Very detailed plot summaries of all 20 original episodes show nothing remotely similar to that occurred in any of the episodes. The scene resembling that in Vaarojen sankaritar (1947) is actually a recreation of a scene in a Keystone comedy called Teddy at the Throttle (1917). Similar scenes also occurred in an earlier Keystone comedy called Barney Oldfield's Race for a Life (1913), the serial A Lass of the Lumberlands (1916) and in an episode of the "Hazards of Helen" series, The Broken Circuit (1915).

The present distributors of the DVD (Grapevine Video) have created new title credits for each episode, in which they state it was produced by the Eclectic Film Company. Actually, it was produced by the American branch of Pathe Freres, and was distributed (not produced) by Eclectic who handled the USA distribution of Pathe product at that time.

The original 20 chapter 1914 US theatrical version was edited down and rearranged into a 9 chapter version and released in Europe in 1916.
