His Glorious Night (1929)
When you see a talking picture you watch the mouth of the player, don't you? That's one of the reasons that Jack Gilbert's first speaking performance is disappointing. You miss the vivacity and expressiveness of his eyes. Chatter in a mythical kingdom seems all wrong, somehow. Gilbert makes a great effort, and Catherine Dale Owen as the proud and haughty princess is beautiful.
