Quality: good

These are modified from Louis Zelikoff's translation, first by nadejg (who originally subtitled the 1975 film in 2009), then by Quigley (who subtitled the 1947 film in 2012, and including some of his own changes), then by Eus, and finally edited by Niffiwan in March 2021 (improving some mistimed/mistranslated text and awkward lines). There are still a few awkward lines left, but not too many.
