More than one original 35mm copy survived, since the blu ray release short time ago don't have such damages on the sides of the frame. Anyway even so this Eye Filmmuseum copy it's perfectly watchable. Thanks to the museum for posting the film.
Nothing wrong! She just had beautiful blue eyes. In the silents they preferred brown eyes because screened better with the black and white nitrate films and all the make up. Blue eyed people had more trouble to make the eyes look good in the films. Gloria Swanson had the same problem
Yes. I was thinking that very same thing. He had a beautiful olive colored complexion, but the movie studio would always slap that white face powder on his beautiful face.
I've read many reviews of this film and I have to say that I enjoyed it much much more than I thought I would. I thought it was a lot better than people have made it out to be. You're right, Mae Murray does tend to overact a little bit. But she's very cute in this and I think that her acting is actually appropriate for this film. And the film got better as it went along. I love the scene with her and Percy oh, that was so cute. Yes, even though Rudy does have a little bit too much white face better which is what they always did with him oh, his cuteness and sweetness still shines through in this film. They used to over makeup men's faces in silent films anyway. But I'm Rudy got to the son of the Sheik call my his makeup was more appropriate because I think he took control over things. I think there was trying to over white people which they didn't need to do.
That was the style of acting in the silent film era. It was popular with audiences of the 1910s and 1920s because melodrama was popular back then because audiences wanted to escape reality
Overacting was normal in film until sound came in and the Great Depression forced a change of style in film in the 1930s towards realistic acting. I personally love the overacting in silent films because I wasn't alive then and love to see how things were in film in those days
@@Lion-vi3mx Yes the reality that they lived in poverty or had just experienced suffering through World War One and the Spanish flu - that reality - not the one from now - you misinterpreted me. Yeah I love the Roaring 20s as well but I know it wasn't an easy time for everyone. It was easy for the rich and the Hollywood stars and producers

It’s crazy how everyone in that movie is dead no one left
Sad, but it was a long time ago. Long time.
A classic Mae Murray film. She is amazing in this film.
..but no background music again 😔
@@maxmad4666Unfortunate
He looks the best in this film.
There is too much makeup. His true beauty was being covered up.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT RUDY VALENTINO IS SO GORGEOUS 🌹 😍 ❤ 💙 ♥ 💖!❤
Mae' eyes are distracting me from Valentino. If that is humanly possible. 😅
DEFINITELY OOOOOHHHHH RUDY IS SO HANDSOME 🔥 👌 😍 💯%!❤ ❤ ♥
Silent Era and Golden Age were the apotheosis of gracious and femininity IMO
Not a bad flick, really!
I think Mae Murray was called, "the girl with the bee stung lips." 😊
..but no background music again 😪
I have learned something new here. I did not know that African Americans were part of the silent film era. Why did i not know this? I know it now. 😮
Does anyone have this in English???
This film is available as a bonus on the DVD of BEYOND THE ROCKS, released by Milestone Films.
Yes, it's on the Beyond the Rocks DVD from Milestone with a great score

Well said! Rudy was proud of his olive colored complexion. It was gorgeous.
she overacts in every movie she is in.

@@javiervalverde3399 escape from reality??? I would love to live in those days, today's depressive reality makes me wanna escape in the roaring 20s.

@@javiervalverde3399 i believe in those days were much easier to get a job in Hollywood, than today for me living in Ukraine.
