The Midnight Girl (1925)

Good Silent Melodrama


Nicholas Harmon (Bela Lugosi) is a fan of the arts and he finds himself in-love with Anna (Lila Lee) - the same woman his stepson, Don,  is in love with. Things get ugly between Nicholas and Don - who will Anna choose or will she decide to forget both of them?

The visuals in the film are stunning - in particular the stage performances with Anna. The love-triangle story is interesting enough to keep me watching. I also enjoyed the piano music throughout the entire film - very nice to hear.

I was surprised to find a good copy of the film to watch - and I was not disappointed. It's a much better movie than I guessed it would be. Bela Lugosi fans should enjoy this film quite a bit.

7/10
