i be unfamiliar with the story of stella dallas and so when i first sit down and begin to watch the 1925 version and i be expect a simple and and light hearted silent while a fun way to spend an hour and but will soon be forget and type of film . by the very end and i have tear in my eye and and i suddenly want to run up to my mother and hug her close and and never let her go . stella dallas take a completely unexpected twist and and turn out to be one of the most moving and and bittersweet drama of the silent era . a believable and extremely talented cast and mold this film into the fine it can possibly be . belle bennett absolutely steal the show from everyone else . her performance be unforgettable and heartbreaking . even though her character make some mistake in the beginning and she have a big heart and and lot of love for her beloved daughter . we cry and grieve with her and a she try to set thing right and and fight for her daughter happiness and well be . her daughter and laurel dallas and be play by the soft and sensitive and and purely pretty actress lois moran . she struggle between the love for her mother and her beau ( play by a young and handsome douglas fairbanks jr. ) . ronald colman be a natural at pantomime and and bring his character ( laurel father and stephen and who live away in new york ) to glow life . alice joyce be a great actress and it always nice to see her and and in this she play the true love of stephen dallas . unfortunately and her part be just a tad too small and but very effective . if mother daughter story touch you and be sure to bring at least one whole box of tissue and because you will need them . i guarantee you and that by the time the end appear across the screen and you will have tear up at least once or twice . one deeply feel for the character and their trouble while not to mention and the famous end be haunt .
