Outstanding

A truly great film, unlike anything you've ever seen. Hilarious, complicated, delightful and a musical. So original that I've never seen anything this different. Great direction by Rene Clair. It's easy to see the Chaplin and/or Clair influences including chase sequences, fight sequences, opera spoofs. An early sound/silent blend that is masterfully done. Unique and entertaining with great performances. This movie contains all the elements of comedy, music, farce, and timing. A must see, you will not be disappointed! Charming and thoroughly enjoyable. Excellent restoration print. Easy to read subtitles that match the musical text.
