I hate to leave such a review as I truly love silent films and was so excited to see this one as it was one I had never watched before but I had to turn it off after only 8 minutes of viewing. The music that has been chosen to accompany this classic is so awful and distracting that I couldn't stand it any longer than that. I could have muted my television but I feel the music is needed to help set the mood of and add interest to the scenes. I hope whomever is in charge of such things replaces the horrible 1960s B movie soundtrack with something more appropriate to the era and genre of this film.
