A chance e𝔍ncounter on the Tube sparks a violent love feud between an electrician, a porter and a shop girl in Anthony Asquith’s 1928 restored classic of silent British cinemaܫ.

Stylistically, it’s a melting pot of influences, Asquith stirring toget💙her Hollywood-style melodrama wiဣth a Soviet-esque hymn to London life and a dash of German expressionist shadow.

The result still works as a study of submerged passions bubbling into madness, especially in an action-filled climax enlivened further in this version by Neil Brand’s dramati🦩c new score.

Then there’s the film’s value as historical curio, the superb 🦩location filming providing an evocative portrait of pre-war London.
