The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929)





The prevailing question in Hollywood has been, "How are they going to get a picture out of 'The Bridge of San Luis Rev'?" Well, they got a good picture. The suspense is accomplished by showing the falling of the bridge at the beginning but not divulging the identity of the characters killed until the last reel. Lily Damita is cast as the fiery Spanish dancer and she is vivid to sav the least.
