George Eliot's novel of the Renaissance was adapted to the screen in sumptuous fashion - shot in Italy on a massive set which reproduced the look of 15th century Florence in meticulous detail. The result is not really Eliot - not even close - but it is one of the more entertaining spectacles of the silent era.Rip based on Grapevine dvdr (well, a copy sent from U.S.

Lillian Gish plays Romola, the idealistic daughter of an aged and noble scholar of Florence. She is loved by an artist (Ronald Colman) but her heart goes to a visiting noble named Tito (William Powell) who is actually an unscrupuloous, scheming pretender. Tito seduces a simple peasant girl (Dorothy Gish) while insinuating himself into a marriage with Romola, and a position of power on the city's ruling council.
The picture frequently suffers from that too common fault of silent films - lack of subtlety in the acting. The triumphant exception is William Powell, in his first major role. It is not commonly known that, for years prior to his emergence as a witty leading man, Powell played the "heavy" in numerous productions, often (as in this case) stealing the movie from the good guys. Powell does not overplay his hand as Tito. He is natural and contained, and the result is that his character is completely human and believable - a true climber and con man motivated by self interest, rather than a mere stage villain.
Dorothy Gish mugs embarrassingly, and generally overacts, but she does create some interesting physical mannerisms for her role as a naive girl, and at times even achieves genuine pathos. Oddly, the film's title role doesn't give her sister Lillian very much to do. The story also drags on too long, and the pall of melodrama tends to weigh things down, yet despite all of that the picture is more interesting and watchable than most Hollywood spectacles of the time. Credit is due to Henry King's talent for achieving a natural editing rhythm, the truly magnificent sets and costumes, and of course - William Powell.
