When a relatively poor Countess came across a trafficked Opera singer, she rescues her and led her to a trip of a lifetime. They met and dine and discover the many riches of Monte Carlo.
Oh such a simple and heartwarming romance. Pretty much most of the story is simple, a waif finds love in an expected place and until her secret is lodged against it but it worked. A Done to the death concept but the film just have enough fluff and enough darkness for it to just work.
Griffith's was wonderful as the duped Opera Singer turned lovelorn Monte Carlo socialite. She hard carries the film's twist and turns well. Milestone's pitch perfect direction made the film an easy watch, especially for its age - the pace of the film is just sublime enough to feel modern. Importantly, I would also like to give kudos to Hanns Kräly, for this wonderfully adapted script. This film has a lot of twist and turns that can be a bit too much for a untested hands but it turned out quite well.
Overall, a wonderful find and example of great Silent Romances.
