The love interest in the story makes it a little slow at the beginning if your interest is primarily in the war movie. But the musical score that has been added is perfectly fit to the action so that you nearly forget that it is a silent movie. The screen is not filled with a caption for everything but the music and the expressions of the actors makes it easy to follow the conversations with your imagination. The characters are well-developed so that you are drawn into the film and that is something missing in many movies even now. The picture quality is quite good and not at all like many of the older films that end up with poor quality picture and flickering when restored. The restoration of this film was quite well done and the age is hardly noticable. A great restoration of a great old movie.
Viewer Reviews Great war film I just watched on this silent classics VHS, which at the moment is the only place its available. There's nothing wrong with this release at all, in fact it has a score by the wonderful Carl Davis, the highest sought-after silent film composer. Nice picture, and a great film.
