Sinekatalog’s take
Mauritz Stiller's silent drama follows three Scottish prisoners who escape, murder a family for treasure, and one who falls for the survivor. Atmospheric and wintry, from Lagerlöf, it is a landmark of Swedish silent cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
