Everything about this film, from the writing, to the sets and costumes, to the cinematography, to the acting by all concerned, to the unbelievable musical soundtrack, is astonishing. This was the epitome of the silent film era, in which creative geniuses had the upper hand and the means to realize their visions. Watch this film, and take note of the musical accompaniment - if you think Max Steiner and Korngold were the first real film composers, you will have to think again! If you can, boost the bass and treble, and what you will hear totally belies what you thought musical reproduction was capable of in 1927.
