Grapevine also have a nice tinted print of Is Money Everything? (1923) which is a waste of time unless you're a rabid Norman Kerry fan.
The blight of such films as The Hunchback of Notre Dame (also 1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Norman Kerry takes center stage here, although he is by no means the worst actor.
That worst actor role is filled by a gent called John Sylvester who is supposedly playing a pompous, self-important clergyman.
Unfortunately, the make-up man obviously misread the script and mistakenly assumed Sylvester was the slapstick comic relief, so he is outfitted throughout in a ridiculous fright wig which negates everything he does and says.
Mind you, the script is impossibly naïve anyway, but it's a shame to see talented players like Martha Mansfield - Queen of the Moulin Rouge (1922) - wasting their time in this also-ran.
The movie is unintentionally hilarious, that's true! But how much hilarity can you stand?
