This film looks really good for being so old. I admit it seems long but there isn't much dialogue offered for so much action, you have to fill in the blanks with your own personal knowledge of the story. It would be really great to have some dialogue dubbed in, a future project?

This early silent shows the static camera techniques and broad gestures so prevalent when movie making was dominated by stage acting methods. This movie is also very slow ... so slow I could only watch 26 minutes of it.
