This a simply wonderful movie and would be in any era. Nobody will fail to be drawn into this movie.
Buddy Rogers is perfect, Mary Pickford perfect. There was real life sparks between these two, no doubt due to the deterioration of her marriage to Fairbanks, another extraordinary tragedy in itself for those who know the finer details of the final split.
Despite real world pressures and relationship anxieties Mary produced this classic movie. And in fact Mary's movies were getting better and better and she becoming an even greater actress if such a thing were possible.
This movie and others demonstrated the Silent era ended too soon, there were still many great movies and performances to be had.
This is a must movie to collect and watch from time to time and proves that a Silent movie can be as effective and enjoyable as a modern day movie.
