I sometimes feel that people who are not sympathetic to the silent era and its genre should not view or comment on them.
As a long-time maven of silent films, I have no problem placing myself in that era and enjoying these movies on their own terms. Much has changed since those days, and most folks simply cannot appreciate the simplicity AND complexity of photoplays without words.
This film is magnificent and entertaining. I am not a fan of most "period pieces", but this transcends the typical fare. Check it out.
