Review of The Docks of New York (1928) by John A — 28 Nov 2011
Von Sternberg directs a love story, about a tattooed up dirty old dock worker, and a depressed socialite. At the time it was very unusual to see such anti-Hollywood looks and non-glamour on the screen, especially for a love story.
Very well directed, and also well acted with powerful performances by Bancroft and Compson in the lead roles.
