(1934) This movie starts at such a slow pace I thought it was going to be one of the very rare occasions that I wouldn't watch a movie all the way through. However, I stuck with it, and was glad I did. I rather enjoyed this tale of a successful business man, who is betrayed, crippled and made virtually penniless, claw his way back with the help of peddlers & beggars - just suspend your belief though. One thing I couldn't shake from my head was the character of Marchant the Blind Man, played by Henry B. Walthall looking a bit like Peter Sellers' Dr. Strangelove. Something to do with dark glasses and permanent smile I guess. 1h 10mins. Video 8 Sound 8.

The movie started out slow and I almost gave up, but luckily I kept watching. The story of a businessman betrayed and left with nothing is impressive as he works his way up through the poor. Although somewhat unrealistic, the movie is still inspiring if you can put logic aside. Marchant, played by Henry B. Walthall, reminded me of Dr. Strangelove – probably because of the dark glasses and strange smile. Running time 1h10. Picture: 8/10. Sound: 8/10. geometry dash spam
