Hungarian-born bacteriologist-turned-filmmaker Pál Fejös (aka Paul Fejos) directed this part-silent, part-sound ode to Coney Island on a busy Fourth of July. In the film─which boasts creative color tinting, special effects, and a very mobile camera─two lonely people meet inside the New York amusement park, only to experience acute anxiety after they're separated. Glenn Tryon, Barbara Kent star. Also includes the bonus Fejös film "The Last Performance" (1927), with Conrad Veidt and Mary Philbin; and a reconstruction of the previously incomplete sound version of his lavish backstage saga "Broadway" (1928), with Tryon and Evelyn Brent. 69 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English PCM mono, music score; Subtitles: English (SDH); audio commentary; more. Silent with music score. Two-disc set.
