    Fantastic silent, one of the best I've seen (and I haven't seen many). Brilliant editing and cross-cutting, compelling performances and surprisingly pacey with it's narrative, it's a wonderfully evocative slice of life of England in the 1920s and a great antecedent of Hitchcock's work. An excellent and odd little example of early British film. 11 years 1 month ago

    This film only make sense if you take for granted that the class differences were insuperable. 2 years 5 months ago
