Considering how easy it is to find this movie for free on the Internet and that it only takes up about ten minutes to watch, I can recommend fully to any and all to check it out.
Put up against other films of its time it feels light years ahead in its creativity, especially in set design and camera effects. Not that it is at all gimmicky, the effects serve a purpose in its story telling.
However, beyond the imaginative film making, the acting is as what you might expect; overly theatrical and broad. It's just a nice little ditty of a film, nearly a century away from all things CGI.
