Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 70 ratings.
Anyone familiar with Thomas Meighan
knows what to expect, with his calm and
dignified demeanour, this role of a returned
soldier who feels that life has passed him
by, fits him like a glove. If I had been going
to movies back in the 20s I know I would
have been one of his biggest fans (in a very
nice way of course).
Conrad Warrener finds himself looking back
to his past when life was there to be enjoyed
and impulsively he takes three childhood
friends back to his family home but the visit
is anything but a success. The roof leaks, the
beds are hard and the supper of porridge and
milk have his more sophisticated friends
hurrying back to the city!!
Each successive friend he visits makes him more
despondant until one gives him the advice "stop
yearning for the past and live in the present" and
it is only when he stops remembering and starts
to show his true, helpful nature that he finds
real happiness!!
Definitely recommended for any silent film lover.
