Sternberg at his best. Silent film at its best. Moves scene after scene to its sweet ending. A product of a different age. George Bancroft dominates every scene but supporting cast fantastic. A wonderful surprise.

Reminded me of "Broken Blossoms" and "Port of Shadows" in its brilliant use of cinematography to heighten the atmospheric seediness of life at the ports. This is a dirty, hardscrabble movie that oozes beauty in every frame. It's sad to see the silent medium crescendoing before a rapid onset demise, because it feels like the directors in the last couple years really started to come into their own.

This is a beautiful example of the film-makers craft. Josef von Sternberg and Harold Rosson have created a thing of aesthetic beauty coupled with an interesting - if not especially deep - character study of two people George Bancroft ("Bill") and Betty Compson ("Mae)". The camera loves both of them More
