I just watched ( couch potato evening)
Feb. 4th, 2008 09:11 pmthe 1927 silent classic "Sunrise", with Janet Gaynor & George O'Brien (woof!). Produced by F. W. Murnau (Nosferatu fame) on AMC tonight.
1. About a man on the farm that is cheating on his simple wife. Cheating with a woman of the "city".
2. The City woman convinces him to drown his wife, and run off to the city with her
3. But tables turn several times, and fate plays many tricks
4. This a bit long and sappy
5. Excellent movie effects, and camera angles; very much ahead of it's time.
6. The imagery, shadowing, and lighting are also excellent. Truly a work of art.
