The Bat with soundtrack (1926)

Might be the second best, after "Nosferatu", silent movie that I have seen. I found it very entertaining and have watched it a couple of times, something I rarely do! Moves along quite nicely. A lot of the feature length silent movies are paced rather slow, as some might say of "Nosferatu", in comparison with the later "talkies". Seems as movies get more and more recent, the faster moving they have become. Short attention spans?? For a lot of the old silent movies, one must appreciate the genre and the slower pace, at least for the non-comedy type. However, most of the comedy silents were one…

A wonderful film. The soundtrack is some of Jerry Goldsmith's pd music used in the 50's btw. My father saw this at 6 years of age and he said it scared him so much that he left the theater running. Quigs
