Hear the band if you want, and do not tell anyone that Barrymore is speaking the drama.

The review

This is the first big feature with a recorded score and effects, and it is not yet talk. John Barrymore is a great lover in a Renaissance plot of plots. Warner Bros., 1926. A house can watch it. Someone here will hear the music and decide the actors have begun to speak. They have not.

Nobody speaks drama. The Vitaphone disc is the event. The sound is a band in the house, not a voice. The kisses are the reputation, which is a thin reason to keep a weeknight once you know what the disc is. I would put it on for the sound, say what the sound is, and get out before a child decides that a great lover is a man to copy. The band can stay. The reputation should not.

Journal

Keep Don Juan in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 29. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

You've Got Mail

41 instead of 29

You've Got Mail is still a romance film, and it scores 41 instead of 29. What you gain is temperance: Gentle, and evasive.

The eight

3
Industry
Barrymore plays the lover; the work being sold is the Vitaphone disc.
2
Household
A great lover's kisses are the reputation, not a marriage or a child.
2
Piety
A plot of plots never stops the lover, and conscience is not why anyone came.
3
Courage
The plots put a lover in danger, and the danger is costume around the kisses.
3
Republic
No neighbor or law is served; the event is a recorded disc in the theater.
2
Temperance
The kisses are the reputation, and the picture points you at the next one.
4
Truth
Nobody speaks drama; the sound is a band, and calling it talk is false.
4
Stewardship
What it left is a recorded score and effects, not a voice and not a home.

Cleopatra

The procession is the product. The affair is the plot, and the plot is not a life.

The review

It cost enough to nearly sink a studio, and the cost is not a quality. A queen manages Rome by managing two men, and the film is interested in the managing as a pageant and a love affair. The processions are long because the processions are what the money bought. I will not pretend the length is grandeur. Length is what you get when nobody was willing to cut the entrance.

The marriages in the way of the affair are treated as furniture. That is the part a house should not absorb. Adults can look at the barge as a document of a certain kind of Hollywood excess and then leave it. Do not sit a young person down in front of four hours in which the lesson is that history is a romance with better curtains. The crowds came. The number is not the crowds.
