In Reply to: Film history Query: Why weren't subtitles used in the silent era? posted by Bambi B on April 5, 2005 at 14:55:46:
...those days. And then, even among those who could, there were too many who had learned English a posteriori, their mother tongue being Italian, Spanish,..., or even Chinese, in no few cases: reading from a screen would distract them from seeing the bad guy approaching the dumb blonde, knife in hand...At least that´s how I see it, Occam´s razor in hand.
