| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe melodrama is outdated, the romance is corny and the acting is ham-fisted, but it's Valentino. |
| User ReviewMargaret SA very enjoyable film. As usual, the uncle is greedy and evil, the heroine is a beauty living in shambles and the original novel's ending has been ignored to give the audience a happy ending. Also, Alice Terry = pretty hot. |
| User ReviewEvan HRudolph Valentino is the main reason to see this movie! It has a pretty interesting plotline and line of characters but Rudolph Valentino is the main reason to see this! |
| User ReviewMatt MA young man is sent off to live with his uncle after his father loses his fortune. There, he meets he falls for his cousin. But though the two cousins want to get married, the greedy and cold hearted father wants to marry his daughter off for money. Starring one of the first cinema heart throbs Rudolph Valentino, the film is gripping though its final part is overstretched. The plot too seems to share many of the elements of numerous other dramas of the time. |
