I have not seen many films from the silent period, but I know that Rex Ingraham was a major director in Hollywood in this time. SCARAMOUCHE, FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE.... This one is a tragedy, gloomy story and riveting too for a today's audience, at least me. It is also a sea adventure film, war film, helped by strong, convincing performances, that reminded me Joseph Von Sternberg's DISHONORED. I recommend it, because it is available on you tube and you have no excuse to miss it, despite the silent problem. It is such a shame that so many movies from the silent period are now lost. So don't miss this one.
