Review:

One of the better silent adventure films

You can't compare this version of the Cooper story to later sound versions - it just wouldn't be fair. When you compare this film to other similar silent films, then it comes off as one of the better ones you can find today. Not only does it do a good job of sticking to the original story, but the production values and acting are superb.

For a 1920 film, it was amazingly well-crafted and complex. Many of the outdoor scenes (particularly at the end) were like works of art and look very much like moving Ansel Adams photographs. The mountainous scenes are just gorgeous. The stunts were also amazing and well performed. Well worth seeing even today.
