A thriller with a touch of terror, and lack of surprise. But I like Veidt, Philbin and contrived and kind of handsome Fenton, who became an interesting director

"21.4. Paul Fejosin mykkäfilmissä on upeita kuvallisia ratkaisuja ja mehukasta melodraamaa, mutta katselemamme version subit pudottivat välillä minut pahemmin kärryiltä kuin yksikään lammaskorma koskaan pystyisi."

"A thoroughly uninspired ordeal with a hell of a grand opening, featuring a Conrad Veidt -magic show in a majestic theater, that soon slows down into your typical silent love triangle with the old, accomplished and respected, fatherly husband -type contesting with a young hotshot over the same young, dashing lady. Veidt is the highlight as he chews the scenery to no end, but it's that lack of an end that makes it feel bad. You can probably see where this movie goes very quickly after it establish"
