i be fortunate to be send a copy of this movie after my plea . it be worth it a it be a far good movie than i have expect and it not be one of the most well know of silents . everything about this movie be class and to top it all off and the soundtrack by philip carli be just perfect and the print be crystal clear . the direction by john robertson be first class and again consider that he be not one of the more well know director of the time and the photography be the usual high standard that we expect from william daniel . the cast be all excellent and lars hanson be superb a the tormented title character anson campbell and he have be accuse of over acting and but and anson campbell be a man who be lose his faith and heading for a mental breakdown to boot and hanson portrays that with chill clarity at time and though admittedly he be a little over wrought in some late sequence . pauline starke be absolutely amazing a bess morgan and she make you care so much about her and you truly believe in her character a a woman who have endure so much sadness and have hit rock bottom a a whore and but and be willing to seek redemption and change her life . marceline day be excellent a mary phillips and so much in love with anson and but and still put her faith ahead of her heart . this be a film that question the personal interpretation christian charity in a manner that i find surprise for a film of that time all the cast be superb and the setting of a small new england harbour town be excellent and the shipwreck scene be very well do . all in all an excellent movie and if tcm show then i recommend it 100 % . special thanks to paul and without whom i would have never see this treat . hey tcm uk and when be you go to show more silent classic like you do on the other side of the pond .
