Wedding March (1928) (Silent)


Wedding March (1928) (Silent)
Customer Review: I dream of it!
I feel me terribly unhappy because this film is inaccessible to me: living in Russia, I cannot even buy the VHS (to Russia do not deliver), - why is this masterpiece now not published on DVD?
Customer Review: A Rich Man, A Camel, and the Eye of a Needle
As the film exists today, Stroheim echoes the Apostle Paul's famous words: "The love of money is the cause of all kinds of evil." Indeed, symbols of Christ and Christianity abound in this movie, the message of which seems to emphasize the aristocratic emptiness we still celebrate. The late Fay Wray, very lovely here, deserves so much to be remembered for more than KING KONG. Her performance is excellent as the used and betrayed lover, and, quite frankly, her performance is the best thing about the film, except, perhaps, for some of the lighting, despite the director's arrogance. Source material for this release varies, from near excellent to poor, but it is wonderful we still have this masterpiece.
