This is a very poorly made film. I also think it's responsible for causing the shift to sound before the technology was really ready, certainly most early talkies are quite clumsy, especially compared to the cinematically rich silents. In any case, the hybrid sound/silent thing here was arbitrary and the casual use of black face isn't doing this any favors. 10 years 8 months ago -

I think I'm 85 years too late to appreciate this film. Then again, maybe it was dull in the first place. 10 years 5 months ago -

Really interesting 1/2 silent, 1/2 talkie film. More an educational experience than an entertaining movie. 10 years 11 months ago
