I have seen this film a number of times, most memorably at the Nederlands Film Museum, Vondelpark, Amsterdam, to live accompaniment. When seen with such accompaniment, the film is a delight to watch, with the film and music and live sound effects making a real evenings entertainment.
A classic silent movie with all fun of the fairground. A fairy tale which is enriched by the style and presentation of the times.
Fairbanks plays an excellent thief full of mischief and daring.
