life, the dazzling scenes of gay, old
Vienna before the war which com
bines with the intensely human love
motif to make “Love Me and the
World Is Mine” one of the finest
pictures in the history of the screen.
Based on the Austrian novel, “The
Affairs of Hannerl,” by Rudolph
Hanns Bartsch, the picture is incom
parable in atmosphere and local col
or. Its striking scenes of the Bos
nian — Herzegovinian regiments of
the Austrian army, its many brilliant
court scenes, its delightful sequence
in the Prater—the Coney Island of
Vienna—its multitude of street shots,
where one can almost hear the bustle
and hum of the crowds made the two
hours spent in seeing it a never-to-be
forgotten period.
The performances of the leading
characters are uniformly excellent.
Mary Philbin as the heroine and
Norman Kerry as the romantic army
officer are ideally matched. Betty
Compson, as the Viennese demi
monde is a perfect character.
