don not expect typical hitchcock touch in this early silent of his call easy virture since this isn not even a suspense film but more of a melodrama about a divorced woman who can not escape her past and a past in which her then husband discover her painter infatuation with her and which he mistake for an affair and and get shoot by him but survive though the painter later commits suicide ( which i wouldn not have know about if i hadn not read the synopsis on the dvd case back ) . sham by the court and she flee to france where she fall in love again and marries and and return to england where her mother in law automatically get suspicious of her . what i just describe be something ( at least the mother in law part ) that i have see on many tv show and movie that usually end with the woman win everyone or almost everyone over . not this time . personally and i find this mostly boring and some scene ( like the about to be ex husband hit the painter with his cane that look so fake ) so ludicrous . the only interesting camera angle i saw here be when it cut to the top of the judge wig before he look up and his face come in close up . this happen twice . it probably do not help that there be no music or sound effect on the dvd i get . so if youre an alfred hitchcock completist and by all mean see this . otherwise and worth avoiding .
