good old fantasy film
by gregberne112018-12-16
7/10

"There are a lot of old films that are not even worth wasting a few minutes on but this is one of the few old silent movies actually worth sitting through. of course it is black and white and the story moves slow, it does not compare with movies today, but at the time it would have been cutting edge and the story is interesting with good actors we've never heard of but liked. it is just a good fantasy story with no big effects or anything obviously. looks cool though and for it's time probably a real big hit?..."

Filmed in Fort Lee, New Jersey--which, at the time, was the center of the American film industry, before it moved west to Hollywood.
