Review of The Toll of the Sea (1923) by Daniel K — 09 Feb 2008
It looks pretty spectacular for a 1922 two-color technicolor film. Anna May Wong is wonderful as well. Very interesting to see a non-white face as the main star of an early Hollywood blockbuster. It seems much more naturalistic and modern than other silent films.
This definitely has something to do with the different makeup choices made due to the color filmstock. An interesting and touching story as well. I'm impressed.
