However, I stuck with it, and was glad I did. I rather enjoyed this tale of a successful business man, who is betrayed, crippled and made virtually penniless, claw his way back with the help of peddlers & beggars - just suspend your belief though. One thing I couldn't shake from my head was the character of Marchant the Blind Man, played by Henry B. Walthall looking a bit like Peter Sellers' Dr. Strangelove. Something to do with dark glasses and permanent smile I guess. 1h 10mins. Video 8 Sound 8.<br><br><hr>
