Quote:The film itself is a small wonder to behold. It’s cut in a blazing speed, but at the same time manages to integrate social realities in a documentary style, to mix satire, humor and some artistic lighting, in short it’s one of the glorious late silent era masterpieces and all the more scandalous that it’s completely out of circulation. The story itself is very simple, a lady loses a pearl necklace on the street, an old beggar picks it up, observed by a prostitute who tries to outwit him, while a third younger man out of a job who comes to the beggar’s shack complicates the situation.
