we know be in the hand of a master director to be from the first moment of the film . enough about it plot and content have already be say here by other commentors it be certainly impressive . novello be a perfect choice for the neurotic and odd lead and cause the audience as well a the cast member to suspect him of be the avenger . here the end be change to protect novello reputation a a romantic leading man ( a be the first talkie sequel in which novello also play the lead and albeit to a slightly alter script and character and motivation ) . here the cinematography and edit match the direction in all be top notch and the exquisite tinting in the restored version add a great deal to the overall atmosphere of the film . all the player be fine with no real standouts except for novello and who have a very successful career in silents ( 16 film ) but retire from talk film after only 6 to become one of england most influential composer until his death in 1951. see this one it a classic .
