The new beautifully melancholic score by Henny Vrienten greatly adds to the atmosphere.

More interesting as a reflection of what passed as a great romantic melodrama than it is as actually a great classic.

It is the only film in which two of the great stars of the era -- Gloria Swanson and Rudolf Valentino -- appeared together. If only to see their on-screen chemistry, no film buff should miss it.
