after hear mostly negative comment about this film and i be impressed . it offer an interesting view into the elitist collegiate atmosphere of the time and be frank about relationship and and have another fine performance by ramon novarro . novarro look more convincing a a student than some of the other player and and yet be thirty three at the time . he certainly look more age appropriate than william haines in west point and and haines be five year novarro junior when that film be make . i like that fact that novarro character be make more life like by conflict trait as well . he be studious and promiscuous and proud and humble and a dirty fighter and and yet devote to weak friend a well . madge evans presence be not appreciably felt in this film and although her close up during the commencement scene be a true eye opener for me . never have i see her look so beautiful . also and after see martha sleeper vamp and i would love to view more film of hers . what interest me greatly be the depiction of college life in the film . how these snobbish upper crust sort have and at the same time and a code of honor and and would fill noble place in society be an interesting question . there be time when their treatment of novarro be revolt and but yet they seem good fellow at the end how true in life . i doubt that the same sense of honor and tradition be present at these blue blood university today . i agree with the other viewer about the sound record . it be abominable in some scene and particularly when one have the already daunt task of penetrate thick italian accent . a viewer should be please by this film . however and the fact that it reach exceed it grasp should be no surprise when one consider that mgm through second rate film destroy the career of it leading silent actor gilbert and haines and keaton and and yes and ramon novarro . if they have really care ( say as much a they care about robert montgomery film ) and this film would be more focused .
