A major reason to watch silent films is appreciation for purely visual storytelling. Murnau is of course a master of that, using little to no text cards in his films, but this movie, first silent one by Lubitsch I have seen, shows same skill. Storyline is complicated, various people are pursuing each other or suspecting each other of adultery or...and yes, it gets a good treatment with quite little dialogue. We, the viewers, don't need to hear what the people are actually saying (except where absolutely necessary), handling of common household objects or lines of sight already tell volumes. Especially Charlotte's roses were treated superbly, as was that scene where Dr Muller opens the door to reveal Charlotte in waiting-room... Actors do their work well, especially Adolphe Menjou and Marie Prevost steal their scenes while Monte Blue does nice suffering romantic lead.
This movie is simply extremely well done. All those who have aspirations in making movies of their own should check this one (likes of Kurosawa and Hitchcock have been praising this movie, and influence on Hitchcock was very obvious), but even for a layman it is an enjoyable light romantic comedy (while still, like Lubitsch films always do, has bit of an edge in there...).
