Beautiful Renee Adoree, 15 September 2005
6/10
Author: (trevorha@blueyonder.co.uk) from United Kingdom

I watched this film last night and was in the end a little disappointed. Conrad Nagel puts in a fine performance in the title role and Renee Adoree is always beautiful and a decent actress.

Although the plot relies heavily on coincidence the scene is very well set during the first half of the film which I thoroughly enjoyed. However the second half is a bit of a letdown by comparison. The main reason is the poor effects during the scene on the raging river and waterfall. This was reminiscent of 'The Ice Flood' a couple of years earlier. I also got the feeling that having set up the story the director struggled to end the film satisfactorily.

Having said all this the film is still well worth watching, particularly for silent movie fans and especially fans of Renee Adoree.
