Reviews

by Andres Gomez

Interesting but much more for how the movies were done back in 1927 and how the relationships between men and women were understood.

Wow! Friedrich Murnau really did pull out all of the stops for this gorgeously complex and beautiful story - that is entirely based on human character flaws that ordinarily might make one squirm... None of the characters actually have names, but George O'Brien is contentedly married to Janet Gaynor...
