It is one of the most mature silent movie i have ever seen. Great powerful performances of leading pair ,beautiful cinematography and stunning set decoration makes this movie overall a wonderful movie.the starting of the movie was brilliant with great intensity and depth but then after first act movie became dull and just like any other rom-com, just mildly entertaining,in it's second act there was nothing striking in the movie,the twist in the movie at the end just saved the movie for me and the thrilling third act give brilliant ending to the movie.

The thing that really amazed me was it's special effects and the set decoration that seemed ahead of it's time,melodious soundtrack also saved the movie in it's dull second act.The most wonderful scene of the movie was the scene of the boat, when the husband was going to drown her wife but at last he conquered his evil.The scene was very intense and powerful. Another scene was brilliantly shot(considering the time when movie was made)the morning scene when the husband sitting in the bed watching her wife feeding birds struggle between his evil desire to kill her wife and the love for her wife. the scene was shot with wonderful visual effects.

It is a overall good movie and a must watch for every silent movie fan.
