Viewing Notes
More adventure than action, but Douglas Fairbanks movies are always fun to watch. And Billie Dove as the princess is easy on the eyes.
This was the first two-strip technicolor film to be widely distributed although there was a black and white version as well due to the cost and lack of training of projectionists on the thicker film stock, which caused lots of projection issues.
