Standout Aspects

Acting

Patsy Ruth Miller's eyes do ALL the talking. Silent film MVP.

Production

Herbert Blaché—Mr. Alice Guy-Blaché himself!—keeps it surprisingly kinetic.

Best for:Solo: 52 minutes—perfect for your 'I should watch a classic' guilt trip.·Date Night: Debate whether Peter's romantic or just a 1920s creep with a yacht.
Heads up:Triggers: Kidnapping played as meet-cute. 1925 morality, folks.
