In a mere 39 minutes this one set "pantomime" manages to be the most outrageously campy silent film ever. Get those guards, and their extreme poses -two of the gayest lads ever to grace the screen. And get that big budget for marshmallows -they all wear marshmallow necklaces and Nazimova has them popping out of every hair follicle. It's over the top silent posture acting at its worst but it's a lot of fun as well. Rambova deserved some sort of award or at least a nomination for her outrageous costumes (JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR owes everything to this production). You'll howl.
