I found somethings really curious about this forgotten film by Jessner, who was quite famous who his work in theater at the time. First, the story is about working-class people. Rich ones are ugly and mean. Second, the woman character is strong and ruling, the man has no self-esteem, is very sensitive and weak. Unusual details for cinema of that era. Acting feels a bit over the top, even for the silent movie, but composition of scenes is simply great. Impressive.
