...much this outdated method of calculating horsepower for taxation purposes has cost the British nation in lost export trade it would be impossible even to estimate!

Certainly the first rumor is contradicted by what he does here. It is a dialog picture made completely in French for foreign export-an adaptation of the film released in the U.
