This is a finely pared down version of the Shakespearean original at less than half its length. The meat of the story is conveyed and Jannings is superb as the Moor. One should see it for his performance alone.
Others in the cast do well but are almost uniformly ugly or funny looking. Kraus' Iago is a fat, oily villain and both the Roderigo and the Cassio are of rather stupid visage.
The sets are good and the directorial pace is rhythmic. The film however belongs to Jannings and rightly so.
