    • Trivia
      John Gilbert loathed the film and begged for it not to be released. His wishes were not granted. Instead the film was shelved and was released after His Glorious Night (1929), which had been filmed after "Redemption" was already finished.

    A sound film for silent-film fans
    A good sound film for its time that should be absolutely fascinating to any silent-film buff. Look at the cast list and the director's name. This film positively teems with former silent-film *STARS* at the onset of sound productions.

    Perhaps not surprisingly, I feel this film would have been better if produced silent. It certainly has the silent "look" and a silent "pace" to it.

    While I think all the actors' voices sound good (even Gilbert's), their line deliveries are occasionally suspect--but not too bad.

    All in all a decent (not excellent) early sound picture that should hold silent-film fans rapt till the end credits.
