Futuristic drama with a message of peace

7/10

"THE STORY & GENRE -- Munitions scumbags start war with agitprop and false flags, peaceniks block aerodrome & shoot hawk President. Not the most sophisticated film but provides plenty of food for thought. Futuristic sets (cities, travel, Chunnel) & technology (war, communications, household). THE VERDICT -- Having seen both the silent and sound versions, I recommend you should watch the silent, by far the better experience. Maurice Elvey's frantic direction suffers too much from the weak technicals and dialogue delivery in the sound version. FREE ONLINE, the Gaumont print at ..."

💡 Did You Know?

Made in separate silent and sound versions. While a mute negative of the sound version had been kept by the UK National Film Archive since 1981, it was thought that all sound elements were lost. However, a 35mm fine-grain nitrate print of the sound version was found in 2005 on Vashon Island, WA, by the Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association and was preserved by the US Library of Congress.
