i was speechless and stunned by such an unknown early silent film being so utterly amazing. i haven't seen the 30's adaptation of the book, but i doubt that anything could out do this one. it's got some great romance, awesome drama without being melodramatic (although gish tends to always make stuff melodramatic). once it gets down to the wire this has an awesome wrap up, an action filled sad ending that forgoes cliche by seeming inevitable.
