Re: Intolerance. Well, there are 4 stories and it's constantly cross-cutting between them. It confused them then, and while it doesn't confuse audiences so much now, it's a bit jarring and a couple of the stories are either dull or badly acted (the Jesus one & the Huguenot story, in particular). The Babylon segment is very impressive in a DeMille way, though some of the acting is, er, lacking. There is a longer version of the Modern Story (the one with Harron & Marsh) called The Mother and the Law, that was released as a movie unto itself back in 1919 or so. Griffith tried to salvage what he could from it to make some extra $$$.

I love Fritz Lang! Most partial to Dr. Mabuse.

Sure! I'll friend you back!
