a one reel story in a two hour format

Rating: 3/10 (21 December 2011)

This review will not be useful unless you're a regular viewer of original silent movies (which some people still seek and find to view). For those who aren't regular viewers of this lost art, it will be an enjoyable novelty. It is a good story, but too slow, and stretched out too far. I'm not comparing it to movies from the teens, but am to movies from the twenties, when the silents became a refined art. If you are a silent movie fan, that purchases, and views silent DVDs, be prepared for disappointment. It did have a rather good musical score which is worth mentioning. The dog in the movie (in my opinion) steals the show.
