Monte Cristo

1922 · 100 min · US

Directed by Emmett J. Flynn

Dantès is sewn into a shroud and thrown off the cliff of the Château d'If, and gets out, and the rest is the treasure and the count. John Gilbert before the moustache, playing patience, which he was not known for. Dumas at feature length with the revenge intact. Emmett Flynn for Fox, 1922, one hundred minutes.
