Reviews
“A silent film with an opulent and lovingly detailed set , carried by convincing actors. Of course, the leading actress, the opera singer Geraldine Farrar, seems a bit too old for the role, so that the charisma of the visionary peasant girl who mobilizes and leads the troops is not entirely taken away from her.
