Much of this merit is traceable to good direction by Alan Crosland, and to the efforts of a generally good cast. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Aug 30, 2006

Excellent silent actioner with synchronized score and the great Barrymore. Go to Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Nov 20, 2003
The movies have gone a long way in portraying Iechers. Barrymore is a plain old lecherous lecher. Today we have Jack Lemmon -- a lecher with the face of a Boy Scout. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Neil B @Filmboy666 6 days ago Not a movie that I enjoyed, the acting was a little lacking in quality and could have been edited better and made bit shorter See more Thomas M @TMProofreader Jan 31, 2019 The best thrilling romance movie ever made! See more Jan 10, 2014 Yes, this was the first movie made with a synchronised music score (and some sound effects), but it is much more that that! It is wondrous and spectacular entertainment with brilliant performances and magical camerawork.The irony of this film is that by 1926 camera work is able to help make the the sword fight and the horseback battle two very exciting sequences because the Vitaphone soundtrack was not tightly synchronized to the action on screen. Once the synchronized speech phase of sound on film began, such mobile action films as these would not be possible for awhile. Highly recommended, it's just too bad it is not available on DVD. See more Oct 20, 2010 John Barrymore is just the dreamiest, and such a fantastic actor.This movie is a swashbuckling scamporama! Nothing but fun from start to finish. See more Apr 19, 2008 This is probably my favorite silent film of all time. It has everything- romance, comedy, drama, action, plus a beautiful romantic couple in John Barrymore and Mary Astor.
