PUNQ

Rated 20 Dec 2014

The original version of Smilin' Through (1922). A silent which Sidney Franklin, the same director, would remake for the sound age ten years later. Good to see Franklin doesn't do a complete copy of his own movie. They are different enough to enjoy as a separate entry. I found this one more cheerful, even if this story always has a deep sadness in it. I would still prefer the more melodramatic '32 adaptation. But by all means this silent version was enjoyable too.
