Note to villains: If you want get the hero out of the way by framing him, just make sure he doesn’t get the cell next to the old guy who knows where to find a fabulous treasure. Cuz, you know, he may come back for revenge.
It has a pre-Great Lover John Gilbert and Estelle Taylor as his one true love. It is a little rushed but overall a pretty dern good adaptation and Gilbert seemed to enjoy brooding and wearing powdered wigs, which are essential skills for a role of this kind.

This version departs from the book in that the protagonist gets his revenge and then is able to reunite with the love of his youth.Read my full-length review here.
If it were a dessert it would be: Butterscotch Banana Muffins. A little bit of added flavor but generally stays close to the classic.
Availability: Released on DVD by Flicker Alley.

Thank you for revisiting this film I am a huge John Gilbert fan. I also own this Flicker Alley set which is sadly going out of print. Hopefully they will have it available as MOD at some point.
Yes, here’s hoping because it’s excellent.
