I was just talking about this movie with my family last night.
The thing that bothered me about this (and why I STILL haven't finished watching this movie after about 3 attempts) is that since it's a classic movie, & thus a silent movie, there is a lot of reading while watching the movie.
Something about my ADD self can't sit still long enough through ANY completely dubbed movie movie to read it all (without falling asleep all 3 times I've attempted it with this movie, & a bunch of other time with other movies).
I really wish this movie was not necessarily remade, but re-edited just with the addition of an actual speech track over it.

Oh wells.
Maybe one of these days I'll see it in it's entirety.
