(1935, Upgraded 11/27/22) Conrad Veidt, Rene Ray, Frank Cellier, Anna Lee, Beatrix Lehmann, John Turnbull, Cathleen Nesbit, Ronald Ward. You've simply never seen this wonderful British fantasy-drama from such a beautiful print. The setting is an old boardinghouse filled with a variety of people, all with different problems. They're lorded over by an evil, mephisto-like slum lord, magnificently played by Frank Cellier. The tenants' lives are changed forever, though, by the arrival of a Christ-like stranger who aids them with their problems. There are many great scenes filled with wonderful dialogue. Beatrix Lehmann is very fetching and lights up the screen. This may well be Conrad Veidt's finest performance. One of our favorite British fantasies. From a gorgeous 35mm print.
