09/08/2019 A story of jealousy and obsession. See more 07/27/2017 Anthony Asquith's British silent film is extremely accomplished, a mixture of suspense, comedy and drama; the segment at the talking picture show is a classic. See more 10/08/2014 Compelling stuff with some terrific camera techniques to boot. See more 07/02/2012 I absolutely adore the way the themes were expressed in this film, the actors were beautiful and I'm a sucker for tragedy, what can I say. See more 09/16/2011 Obsessive love, attempted murder, escape from prison; this, one of the last British silent films, has it all. See more 08/31/2011 an amazing film!~ i'm shocked i had never heard of this til a few weeks ago. this late silent is easily the equal of anything hitchcock was doing. it's a shame asquith's later work doesn't show the vitality and beauty of this early thriller. beginning with a prison escape, most of the film plays as an extended flashback with extraordinary camerawork and expressionistic shadowplay. loved it!
