Sounds as if the dubbing happened on the final audio tracks. Normally film-
makers save the audio- and speech-tracks separately to switch the language.
But when the material is old and no one saved a "karaoke"-version, the only
chance is to do nice ducking. Or use subtitles and run it in "alternative"
cinemas:-)
Have fun,
