Audience Member This is a romantic/musical that tells the story of a Russian bandit who falls in love with a princess, but takes his revenge on her when her brother rapes and kills his sister. Directed by Lionel Barrymore and released both with and without sound, Hal Roach directed the Laurel and Hardy sequences that are not credited. Lawrence Tibbett was nominated for best actor and this was MGM's first all talking technicolor film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A boring, over-dramatic partly lost film. I watched this film from a reconstructed version on YouTube as most of the film is lost. However, the sound still exists fully intact. Lawrence Tibbett's performance is the most over-dramatic performance I think you would find from that era of early-talkie films. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor in 1930, which I don't think he deserved. The singing in the film is OK but nothing extraordinary. The Laurel and Hardy footage intersected in the films, didn't really mesh with the rest of the film but it was at least more entertaining than Tibbett's singing. The only good aspects of the film were the effects of the storm and ballet dance sequence. Overall, a film that has not aged well at all and would probably still be overlooked if a fully complete film was found.
