Outdated historical melodrama.

Frank Lloyd won the Directing Oscar for this largely silent version of the romance between Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson; the 1941 vesrion with Olivier and Vivien Leigh is superior.

Yeah..this one is lost and seldom seen...for good reason. Not too many people would have been working on preserving this one.
