Title: A pleasure to watch!
Review: I can only echo what others have already said about this excellent silent movie made in 1928, when techniques and styles were well developed - only to be abruptly ended a year later when sound arrived. So for anyone a bit reluctant about silent films, or simply new to them, then "Docks of New York" is a great place to start. It is a simple yet touching story of true love in an unlikely setting: the rough dockyard neighbourhood with its drunken barroom brawls and 'ladies of the night'. It moves at a comfortable pace and takes in much visual detail, while building a certain suspense about what happens next, making this film a real pleasure to watch. Definitely worth having!
