A Cottage on Dartmoor [d: Anthony Asquith, 1929]. 

Asquith directed four silent films, and the three of them I’ve seen - this, Underground and Shooting Stars (both 1928) are flipping fabulous. There’s a dynamism and exuberance in his silent films that doesn’t occur in his later sound films, good as they are. (Shooting Stars - which is one of the first and best films about film stars and film-making - is a love letter to silent films). There’s a scene in A Cottage on Dartmoor where the protagonists go to the cinema (which is a theme with Asquith’s silent films) that is a lighthearted a criticism of the new-fangled talkies. It’s a great scene, in the middle of a very modern feeling thriller. 

This film stands up with the best of the silent films that I’ve seen and I think it’s better than a lot of more famous ones. It’s taut, innovative, thrilling, funny, and not simplistic when it comes to character.
