Its an oldie. Ramon Navarro (Ben Hur, Mata Hari) and Dorothy Jordan. he's a singer, she's a nun. she falls for him, but they must decide what is really the best thing for her to do. the whole thing is pretty low budget. cheesy story, cheesy sets, bad fake, foreign accents. things they would say in 1930, but certainly not today. and all before the film production code, so it was okay to do some of these things! he's a singer, so there's lots of singing. some sound and picture issues, but it IS 90 years old, so we'll cut it some slack. it gets better as it goes along. also keep an eye out for Ernest Torrence... he was also Steamboat Willie, with Buster Keaton! Torrence died quite young of complications of surgery. directed by the mostly unknown Charles Brabin. he had made TONS of silent films, and then a couple years more in talkies. the trivia says there was a color sequence that seems to lost.... sad. Novarro was beaten to death at age 69, apparently as part of a robbery. also sad.
