I saw this movie because the cast had Louise Brooks
20 April 2018
The first movie I saw of Louise Brooks was in the fabulous "pandora's box" or "die buchse der pandora", which I still consider the best movie in silent film history. Impossible to be indifferent to Louise Brooks, with a fantastic performance, one of the best I've seen in film history. An actress, who, despite her short career, will always go down in history. In this 1928 film, "beggars of life" by director William Wellman, Louise is very well, with the curiosity to play a boy in about half of the film. Wallace Beery also has a powerful acting, he only enters the film about 30 minutes after its beginning. The film is not a masterpiece, but it is interesting and has good moments.
