this movie really show it age . the print i saw be terrible due to age and but it be possible that there be good print out there . however and this be not the major problem with the movie . the problem be that although the film be make in 1933 and it be essentially a silent film with only the bare of dialog scatter ( only a few sentence ) in the film in the most amateur fashion . sometimes the character back be turn or they be talk with their hand over their face all in a pathetic attempt to obscure their lip and cleaverly ( . ) hide the fact that the film be dub . well and it true that this czech film would need to be dub into many language but to do it this way be really stupid and obvious . it just look cheap . overall and the film look low budget and silly . it really a shame though and because there be a grain of a good story a young woman who marry an old man who be either gay and or or have no interest in woman . but in the 21st century and few people would really be willing to sit through this archaic mess . even with a few glimpse of the naked ( and somewhat chunky ) hedy lamarr and it isn not worth all the fuss that accompany the film when it debut . even by 1933 standard and this film be a poorly make dud . about the only interesting thing about the film be to see how different lamarr look in 1933 compare with the glamorous image hollywood create when she come to america she look like 2 completely different people . it such an incomplete look and technically inferior film and i do not see how it have get such rave review . for technical problem alone and the movie can not rate a 10 or anything near it .
