I remembered than when Kane had received the sled as a gift when he was a child, it said "The Crusader"..., but if you say so it's all right.

I haven?t seen many silent films, but this must be the one of the greatest ?fantasy? films of this period. I read it was made at an astonishing cost (for 1924, year of its release) U$ 2,5 millions!!? (It must have been filmdom?s most expensive feature before the 1926 ?Ben-Hur?).
Douglas Fairbanks is in excellent shape & form, for the ?athletic? part he has to play (at his "acrobatic" best-considering he was 40 years old when it was made); and embodies the hero (the thief of the title) perfectly, who is ?redeemed? by the power of love (in the shape of a ?languid? princess played by Julanne Johnston). The sets are just awesome & gorgeous (designed by the legendary William Cameron Menzies), plus deft direction by Raoul Walsh.
Great acting by Anna May Wong (as one of the princess? ladies in waiting) and SoJin (The Mongol Prince), who are perfect as the ?villains? of the story.
The Kino DVD Release, brings a digital stereo orchestral new score, adapted from the original 1924 cue sheets, a great asset, plus a set of never before seen outtakes and special effects footage, excerpts of Paul Leni?s ?Waxworks? and George M?li?s 1905 ?Arabian Nights??oh...., and a filmed ?introduction? by Orson Welles himself.
Highly recommended for silent movie buffs and movie buffs in general, the story line & the plot is very different indeed from Zoltan Korda?s classic 1940 same title masterpiece. This movie stands its own ground besides that other version. I have both and love them!!!
TCM Programmer if TCM hasn?t shown this gem, I tell you, it belongs to your wonderful schedule

I don't know why...but I agree that he was one of the greatest actors ever...either in more "mature" roles like in "LIfe with Father" or "How to Marry a Millionaire"...as a suave, elegant villain in many silents....as debonair man of the world in many late twenties-early thirties Paramounts or some Warners, before arriving in MGM in 1934....he was the perfect Philo Vance...the perfect Nick Charles... great opposite Jean Harlow....he's a top actor & star!!!
