Movie review

From Short Review - NY

In the great René Clair’s last silent film (from 1928), a bruiser gets his comeuppance and a bashful barrister gets the girl. And what do you get, in addition to witnessing a spry, visually deft comedy? An archival print from the Cinémathèque Française and the world premiere of a new score from the homegrown talent at NYU’s Film Scoring Program.

[This film is an official selection of the TONY Film department for the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. While it has not been given a star rating, our Film experts consider it to be among the superior entries to this event.]
