Anyone who knows a bit about film will know that this is a turning point in cinema from 1927. The approach to making movies, the scale of the production (The most expensive ever at the time), and the special effects were all ground breaking and a vital "study text" for any film student. The actual story line received mixed reactions and it IS quite simplistic but for the time was controversial too. The film was cut to bits at the time and was rarely shown in it's full original edit. The uncut film was thought to be lost until a copy was found in a dusty vault in south america and after a long process of restoration this 2010 Bluray reprint is now available. The audio has been rerecorded completely from the original score. This is by far the best version of this film available to date with 95% of the original back in place.Read full review
