DABY

This home movie version of Camille features such a stunning array of actors (Charles Chaplin, Paul Robeson, Yvonne Printemps, Aileen Pringle, Ethel Barrymore), performers (Chauncey Olcott, Serge Kousevitzky), artists (Georges Lepape, Charles G Shaw), writers (Sinclair Lewis, Somerset Maugham), and oddballs (the rest!) that it is difficult to take your eyes off the screen for a second, wondering who you might miss! It is loosely based on 'La Dame aux Camelias', but you wouldn't really know it. But for the historic and curiosity value - even lawyer Clarence Darrow makes an appearance - it is worth seeing once.

This film features possibly the most bizarre cast ever assembled for any film ever made. The film is very loosely based on Alexander Dumas' Camille. However, it's really nothing more than a home movie of many actors, artists, celebrities, and writers mugging for the camera. Title cards link the scenes depicted to the story of Camille in both English and French. Sherwood Anderson, Ethel Barrymore, Richard Barthelmess, Charles Chaplin, Clarence Darrow, Theodore Dreiser, Dorothy Gish, Rex Ingram, Sinclair Lewis, Anita Loos, W. Somerset Maugham, H.L. Mencken, Patsy Ruth Miller, Aileen Pringle, Max Reinhardt, Paul Robeson, and Roland Young are just some of the figures who appear in the film. The film is not entertainment as much as it is simply a historical record of these individuals who contributed much to American cultural history. ** of 4 stars.
