Title: The Golden Era of Silent Hitchock Film
Review: This is a tragic, woeful tale-very early Hitchcock.We are introduced to the fine actor, Carl Brisson. His performance is super-expressive (expected, considering it's a silent film), however, his is a performance to be remembered. You really root for this guy, especially when his Woman does him wrong. Carl is the backbone of this dreadully long, long, tragedy.Don't get me wrong, Anny does her part too! When she mouths, "I am having a baby" directly to the viewer, I was delighted.You'll notice the pacing and editing of the movie are frustrating, however, in its entirety, i still believe this film works. It's a rarity, and something I'm glad to have watched. I only wish Mr. Brisson had produced more than three films before his untimely (and early) death.And you'll want this as a reminder that the fruits of Hitchcocks genius were in the larval stages and just absolutely fascinating to watch.
