Reviews

Dotbankey A lot of fun.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
boblipton The story of a woman who abandons her comfortable home for a life on the stage has been told many times in the movies. Rare is the version in which she doesn't regret it as indeed, she does here. However, rarer is the version in which the story seems to be mostly told by means of showing the texts of letters and telegrams on screen. If you have been yearning for that version, then yearn no more, for this is it and you may enjoy it, along with pretty poor acting by 1912 standards in a poorly preserved print at the Betzwood Archives site. Everyone has beautiful penmanship. For some reason, the lead actors are given on screen credit, almost unheard of in that era; however, Florence Lawrence had just been given a credit card in her movies by new producer Carl Laemmle, and perhaps Lubin, the most conservative of the Patents Trust companies, thought it a useful innovation.
