Impressive

I have low stamina in watching an old, silent movie, but on a night when I was searching through constant reruns of network shows that i had already watched in the past, I came across this Turner Classic option. It had Marie Dressler another good point to watch, ( though she was wasted ), not her fault. At first I was almost on the verge on changing channels, but then as I stuck it out, I was impressed with the scale of the movie and somewhat Griffiths performance. I never heard of her, but I was familiar with the names of others that i had seen in future performances, mostly as character actors..H. B. Warner for one of them. I couldn't understand his needing of Criffith, when she told him she did not love him, so it appeared to me as an open marriage as we know of it today, though it was one sided. The battle scenes were exceptional for a 1929 movie, they did not look like 'models' as so often were used in future movies of such battles. Not bad of a movie, though inaccurate to a point.
