Directed by Anthony Asquith
Anthony Asquith, 1929, the last great British silent: a barber's assistant (Uno Henning) loves a manicurist (Norah Baring) who loves a customer. When sound arrives in a village cinema, the film becomes a thriller. Shot in Sweden and Dartmoor; British Instructional. Asquith cuts like a man who has seen the Russians. The razor, the moor, the projection booth. It is a late silent about jealousy as a close-up, and about a medium that is about to start talking.
