See the recently restored Metropolis, Fairbanks' Thief of Bagdad, or most of Griffith's work, and you'll discover that they feature techniques that were then "lost" in early sound films, due to the limitations of the sound equipment itself. It took years for the sound-movie industry to remount the visual heights the silents achieved.<br /><br />But, in any case, I'm not sure whether that matters to Call of Cthuhlu, which is a brilliant adaptation, in the style of the silent greats.Stephen D.
