George Arliss is English Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli in this creaky early talkie. It's virtually a one-man show, with Arliss in front of a nearly static camera for long stretches of time. The delivery is in an overly dramatic manner more suitable to silent films and stage plays. The best part is laughing at Arliss' crazy hair-do.
