This appears to be the first full-length version of the Wilkie Collins novel "The Woman in White." It has been a long time since I've read the novel, so I can't say if this is a faithful adaptation of it. However, the film is certainly well-made and entertaining, despite a slow and somewhat confusing start. Florence La Badie plays the heroine, as well as the mysterious "woman in white." Richard Neill, as her villainous husband after her inheritance, manages to be slick and nasty without going over the top. The climax is well-staged.
One major criticism is that the titles were written against a floral background, making them very difficult to read. On the other hand, the photography is very good.
