Without sound, most films of this period are pretty boring, especially if it didn’t have a great story, comedy, or special effects. This was no exception. I have no idea what it was about and I don’t care, either. Why did they use irising so much for cuts and sometimes even entire scenes?

About Me
I'm a photographer, web developer, travel enthusiast, and movie buff living in Alexandria, Virginia, USA.In the summer of 1993, I started writing reviews for every movie I saw and haven't looked back. I'm up to 2,320 reviews now. This makes me cool or a complete dork, depending on your perspective.
Some of these reviews contain spoilers, so if that bothers you, don't read!
