Featured review
They don't make 'em like the used to!
I wish I were able to simply say "I believe with the other review", but IMDb has a minimum number of lines for reviews. However, Devotchka's review really did do a wonderful job of summarizing this film from 1907. For this era, the production values are very good and the film is quite long by the standards of the day. However, the film suffers from being too stagy and also pretty insulting in how it seems to portray the various ethnic groups. And since the video doesn't have inter-title cards (this didn't come into vogue until a few years later), the exact meaning behind the film is a tad vague. It probably does mean that all these peoples can come to America and learn to get along thanks to Good Old Uncle Sam, or it could mean that foreigners are jerks--a not exactly 'politically correct' sentiment but one that would have found a more receptive audience in that era! Whichever it is (or even a third alternative), the film is an interesting relic but not among the better films of the time--however, you'll probably like it if you want to see people punching each other
