After having watched The Phantom of the Opera a couple days ago, I happened upon this film, mistaking it for another horror film. Nevertheless, I still wanted to watch it because it starred the silent film legend Conrad Veidt and the beautiful Mary Philbin.
I thought the film was rather slow, but I still enjoyed it rather immensely. I found myself feeling for both of the main characters and even shed a few tears at certain points throughout the film. It was sad as well, often interpreted as melodramatic.
Honestly, for any film buff, this is a must-see. Despite it being very slow, it is definitely worth it to see it to the very end, and maybe even read the novel it is based off of by Victor Hugo.
