Query: Fascinating

Having read the book and having a DVD with Richard Chamberlaine in the principl role, I was interested in securing this older edition, i.e.1934 B/W movie.Though the acting was predictable (better than fair), the producer/writers took liberty with the story line. (As in the R. Chamberlaine edition. Tsk, tsk.)For instance: an opening scene on board between the captain and young Edmund.A disappointment in the story presentation: it was assumed that the viewer(s) understood the length of time spent as prisoners/co-conspirators to develop Edmund's education/preparation before the dramatic escape. And the underwater sequence was well done.Background music was... worse than poor.The 1934 movie edition does show the ancient process for sending messages across great expanses of water, etc. therby enabling the Count to confuse his enemies.Generally, the movie presentation assumed viewers knew the story and would fill-in the blanks.However, I was glad to secure this 1934 movie of a great book.
