Like a virigin on her prom night, I am so glad I waited. I finally saw what Cahiers du Cinema dubbed the greatest film in history in an actual theater. Murnau’s classic fable, kinda like The Wizard of Oz meets Fargo is a fairly decent arguement for the addage that sound ruined pictures. A great story, remarkable imagery and a fantastic performance by Janet Gaynor. Hot stuff.
