Does anyone know of silent films (not necessarily American silent films; in any iflm tradition) with dialogue titles not on separate intertitles between shots of characters talking (as seems to be always the case), but with dialogues appearing as subtitles on the shots of the characters themselves (as subtitles appear in sound films) ? I seem to remember seeing a silent film where this was done, but I can't remember which film, and whether this was a later reconstruction for sound film audiences -- or whether this is an experiment that was tried in silent cinema, somewhere. Or any idea where I could find information about the development of titles as separate shots inserted within the continuity of other shots, rather than as functional subtitles that would not interrupt the visual flow ?
