Once again, great story-telling in that I had no idea how and where the story was going to go even up to the end. The one exception was that Fantomas would somehow escape (so that there could be more stories to come) and that otherwise everything else would be found out and resolved.
And once again I'm affirmed in my thinking that movies need more bassoon music.
And Fantomas's lover/girlfriend/romantic interest? She sure has a time of it, poor girl.
This Fantomas movie had more lost filmage then others I've seen, so there were screens of narrative writing to help cover gaps in the story. As far as fantastic stunts, the scene in the bell tower is worth considering. Not a lot of Juve and Fandor this time. Compared to other Fantomas stories, this one seemed to have a lot more letter writing and just sitting and talking--which is a challenge for silent movies.
Once again, well done, people.
