A brief internet search tells me that the first "real" movie was made in the late 1890's, & that "talkies" were first introduced in the late 1920's. That would explain why this film had very little dialog, & why the soundtrack did not reflect all that was happening (for example, a handkerchief being ripped did not make a sound). I always associate overacting & too much make-up with early films, but the acting in this movie wasn't so dramatic, & the people looked normal.It was a cute story, but I found myself wondering when it would end. Maybe that's a reflection of my own inattentiveness in today's world of over-stimulation.
