This is a movie, which I consider to be nearly perfect. The characters are endearing and believable, and the plot ties up nicely.
Zina is the beautiful cigarette girl, who is discovered by the cameraman, Latugin, and becomes an actress. Latugin loves Zina. Mac-Bride loves Zina. Mityushin loves Zina. The land lady loves Mityushin. Zina loves Latugin. Zina, Latugin, and Mityushin loose their jobs. What will happen?
This is essentially a comedy. There is a mixtures of restrained slapstick and humorous love mix ups. Some of it has been done before (well you will have seen it before), but the movie is original enough and very well done.
There are still some weird bits to this. For example when Nikodim Mityushin smokes the cigarette the hall starts spinning. Hmmm, I donÕt think that was tobacco in there.
I highly recommend watching this, even if you are not into silent film.
