Short Review

It's instructive to know this is an early talkie movie. That would account for the overly emotive acting and double-takes. Dialog is overwrought as well. Probably good for its time, it's hard for me not to think of it as one of those good-bad movies with the gee-whillikers romance talk and melodramatic plot twists. Johnny C sez check it out for all that.
