Lady of the Night (1925) is most certainly one of the most beautiful pictures ever made.
Tinted and toned and presented in the most wonderful condition by Warner Archive, "Lady of the Night" is indeed most certainly an absolutely constant pleasure to look at.
The special effects are a wow too!
And as for the acting by Norma Shearer, Malcolm McGregor and George K. Arthur, they are almost is almost totally spellbinding.
Just one problem: No plot. All the clues are planted all right. But nothing happens! Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
Never mind, I'll willingly watch it all unfold again - it's just so lavishly staged by director Monta Bell, and so beautiful to look at, thanks to the artistry of photographer André Barlatier.
