Although it doesn't start too promisingly, interest rises dramatically once Arliss enters the picture. With his sly, cunning portrait of a well-mannered but vicious despot, Arliss easily out-acts every other member of the cast, though Ivan Simpson enjoys some splendid moments as his dressed-to-the-nines flunky.
The direction, alas, is dull and static.
Production values, laced with obvious footage from Arliss' 1923 version, appear surprisingly meager.
Nonetheless, Arliss is such a skilfully charismatic lead, it would be a shame to miss his fascinating interpretation.
