‘The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ was originally
released in the USA in 1921 and was the first starring role for Rudolph
Valentino. Alice Terry, who co-starred, was married to the director of the
film, Rex Ingram. The bitterness towards Germany left by the war to end all
wars is obvious in the review written only 5 years after the Armistice.
Phonofilm was an early invention for recording sound onto
film, but was not as successful as the synchronised disc systems that were also
being tried out at the time. Both were superseded by the improved sound-on-film
systems of the late 1920’s and the rest is history, as they say.
