An expanded version, "Peace Edition", was released after the end of World War I.
For the British release, Griffith added a scene showing him setting up equipment in the trenches, and another scene with Prime Minister David Lloyd George wishing him luck with his movie.
In 1978, Killiam Shows, Inc. copyrighted a restored version of the movie, with an original piano score by William Perry. The restoration was by Karl Malkames and the running time is 118 minutes. It contains the scenes added for the British release.
