Disraeli (1929)




George Arliss, Anthony Bushell - Disraeli




This Vitaphoning of a play about the great British prime minister introduces the beloved George Arliss to the speaking screen. The Disraeli role is duck soup to the star — he made his American reputation in it. His performance is brilliant. Distinctly a one-man show, for the others haven't a chance. Thev include Joan Bennett, Anthony Bushell and Doris Lloyd.
