Rich S Three strong performances in the 1920s silent-movie acting style bring this pulp novel by Gouverneur Morris to life. The story is startling when you consider the times. But Morris would go to great lengths to get his moral across in memorable ways. Lon Chaney, Leatrice Joy and John Bowers are a power trio of the Roaring 20s and their love triangle triggers the movie's ticking time bomb. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/20 Full Review Audience Member I was not a big fan of this film. It took too long to tell the story and I thought that this film could have been edited better. This film has scenes in it which I felt did not add to the story such as a case where two characters bump each other as they are walking the streets could have been cut out because it was ill-relevant to the story plot. The ending was stupid. The sets were good but the story was not exactly clear or well told. It never made sense what this group was and why the obvious punishment was always killing.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A good chance to Lon Chaney in a dramatic role before his Universal horror success. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A little over-dramatic at times, but I guess that's expected being this is a silent film and most of the actors come from the stage.
