      Robert E. Sherwood LIFE This synthetic epic also has some of the very worst acting that has ever been committed, on land or sea. Oct 5, 2021 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The plot is pretty creaky stuff, but the incredible high seas footage elevates the picture to an astonishing new level. Apr 17, 2009 Full Review Sean Axmaker Parallax View ... equal parts Victorian chivalry, manifest destiny and nationalist machismo, less swashbuckler than melodrama with plenty of romantic complications.

      Audience Member Fast paced if minor DeMille (small DeMille?) sea adventure topped some good slimy villainy by John Miljan & Walter Long. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Please get the edition from flickeralley.com (titled "Under Full Sail"). You would be doing yourself a favor. For some reason, Televista decided to release a bastardized version of this DeMille classic from the silent era. David Shepard (who produced this film for DVD) went to four different countires for the source prints upon which to base his reconstruction and restoration of the film. The new score is performed on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington. Although it's not a major landmark in silent cinema, it's a fun film and a wonderful presentation. For those of you who know me personally, if you invest in Televsita's copy (displayed in the image, above) you are dead to me as a h Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
