Silent Movie

Early this morning I watched a movie from the cable station. It was a silent movie from 1928. I really have never watched a whole silent movie before. It was interesting. It was "The Passion of Joan of Arc". It was about her trial and of course ended with her at the stake. I must say, the men in the movie had to be the ugliest men I've ever seen. The actress who played Joan, however, was a great actress! She was a stage actress, and this was the only movie she was ever in. The commentator before the movie said that the director was very hard on the actress during the filming, made her kneel on hard stone floor for hours and things like that, for getting the suffering effects he wanted, during torturing scenes, etc.
