(1921) Bela Lugosi, Lee Parry, Violette Napierska. A lost Lugosi film finally surfaces! Bela looks absolutely wonderful and has a meaty role in this silent espionage drama. He plays a French aristocrat that falls for a Russian cabaret singer. Watch out, though, she's secretly involved with a Russian revolutionary movement. She entices Bela to aid her cause. Unfortunately, Bela's recently jilted girlfiriend just happens to be a top Russian spy! Very interesting and surprisingly well-done. Known in Europe as "Dance on the Volcano." Music Score, 16mm.
