this restoration of the original 1926 production almost seem like an anachronism . we feel somewhat creepy watch a silent film in color . although color enter the realm of silent film around 1923 and over 95 % of the silent film in color be lose . this be a rare treat ( even though we only see brown and red and blue and even though the water be sometimes red and sometimes blue ) and along with the original score re record and 19 minute of outtake follow the 90 minute feature and it be somewhat of an event . the content be the usual formulaic action film and a real swashbuckler in the errol flynn sense of the word . fairbanks and billie dove and donald crisp all perform well . not a great film by any mean but lovely to look at in this early color process infancy . ( for great two strip technicolor see michael curtiz back to back horror film of the early thirty doctor x and mystery of the wax museum .
