Having only recently experienced the 1919 silent film version, I can say that while this rendition doesn’t possess quite the same impact as Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess's take on it, it remains a worthwhile viewing experience, particularly due to a very strong final fifteen minutes. The narrative follows "Chen" (Emlyn Williams), a Buddhist from China who travels to London with his spiritual gifts and gentle nature. Predictably, he encounters skepticism and prejudice among the residents of East London, making his task challenging. “Lucy” (Dolly Haas) resides with her father, "Burrows" (Arthur Margetson)—a boxer prone to drinking and subsequently directing his anger towards his daughter. Following one such incident, Chen provides shelter and healing for Lucy before her father and a group of other characters become involved, leading to unfortunate outcomes for everyone. It's essentially a straightforward story about prejudice, violence, compassion, and is presented as a moving cinematic work. The production appears to have been low-budget, but that isn’t really a detriment; it actually enhances the grimy realism of their surroundings, as do the performances from the cast, notably Gibb McLaughlin ("Evil Eye") and the consistently dependable Kathleen Harrison. I encourage those who haven't seen the original film to consider watching this one. And for those familiar with the earlier version, don’t be overly critical; certain stories simply function better without spoken dialogue, and while that is limited here, it might just be a characteristic of this particular film.
