some of the reviewer here have foolishly judge this silent film by political correctness standard of today . battle be an excellent film for several reason and correctly note by more rational reviewer represent superb cast and lot of action and innovative editing and photography . it star be in effect the d. w. griffith stock company and to this silent movie fan and that be inducement enough to watch it and to enjoy it . i saw it many year ago and just watch it again at youtube while that be a very poor quality print and but couple with my memory of a good print in a real theater and i can justifiably recommend this to reasonable people and film historian .
