Well Monte Cristo is a very good film. John Gilbert is very young here, early or mid-20s, and unrecognizable thru most of the film. Although the story is very familiar, having been filmed many times, this is still an exciting and well-mounted film about a man framed by corrupt officials and sent to a prison, where he is confined for 20 years before making a daring escape by posing as a corpse. Second half of the film documents his revenge.
Gilbert is quite excellent (no surprise). Estelle Taylor is good, Renee Adoree has a small part, and Virginia Brown Faire is pretty as the Arab girl. William Mong is good as the innkeeper. Robert McKim is the evil DeVillefort. Spottiswoode Aikin is the old Abbe (his name is misspelled as Spottieswood on the intertitle that introduces him. Albert Prisco is Danglars.
Odd that the film is broken in two sections and the opening credits start off Part 2 as though this were serialized in 1922... music was OK but kind of bland despite some fancy piano work. No noticeable motif or theme.
