Critical reception
The film was reviewed in The New York Times by film critic Mordaunt Hall in 1928.[2] He noted, "There are passages in this film that are rowdy, but there are also a good many witty episodes."[2]
gollark: <@122471043506896899> The reason the images are stupid is for cross-pi compat.
gollark: I could, but only by enlarging it.
gollark: I'm on a 1080p monitor, but the aspect ratios of each image are wrong.
gollark: At least post *readable* junk.
gollark: Why mercurial instead of git?
