above post is wrong

the post saying the score is anachronistic is quite wrong.

This is not San Francisco in the middle 19th century. It is San Francisco in 1915. Note that there are telephones, and they speak of the FAIR. The world's fair was held in 1915 in San Francisco

In one scene a depiction of the famous FLATIRON building in New York is visible, this building completed in 1902.

Early in the film a transcontinental telephone call was placed from New York to San Francisco. This event took place circa 1915 and was a famous part of the World's Fair.

I think this film is a beautiful example of technicolor's magic and few can compare. The only person who won't like this film is someone who doesn't like to entertained.
