Yet another US silent film discovered in Europe, the Netherlands to be exact. Painstaking restoration by EYE and the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Lots of credit to go around, I'd particularly like to acknowledge Rob Byrnes, the president of SFSFF, a scholar, collector and all around good guy whose devotion to silent film is evident in this restoration.
This print is very nice and the film is worth watching. These mostly forgotten actors turn in a good performance and the inadvertent documentary of the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles in the 1920s make for an interesting film even though the story-line is a little far fetched. Worth a look, for sure.
