Featured review
A sweet and enjoyable film from 1914!
I have recently read about Maurice Tourneur's The Wishing Ring. The writer mentioned how the film is well edited. It was also mentioned that everything was filmed in Fort Lee but made to look like England. Tourneur chose buildings that looked English and he even built a Church to cover the fact that the Hudson river was behind it!
This is a very well made film from Tourneur. It is pleasing and it keeps you interested throughout. The actor's performances are also very good and enjoyable to watch. Vivian Martin is starring in her first film here and she does it with the confidence of any experienced actress. She is very vivacious and a total joy to watch.
The Wishing Ring is far from perfect. It is fairly well put together but some scenes can seem slightly confusing why they have turned up at this location. However, it is well directed, well acted, and well shot. It is an enjoyable watch.
