Hands down, one of the most visually beautiful films I've ever seen. We're talking top 10 sort of beauty here. Tableaux vivants featuring most graceful and amazing dancers. If you like Isadora Duncan or Lot in Sodom, you will love this. The film itself was a bit tiresome to watch, and the acting of the two kids did not impress me. But there were so many other things that were spectacular. I was in awe.
according to IMDB, the part of Widow Berligot was played by a man (Edward Elkas) ... bizarre.
this is not a clear shot, but it features S.E. Potapovitch who played the embodiment of Fire - he danced most beautifully. I couldn't find any information about him online, but did find a Maria Potapovitch who was involved with the Ballets Russets around the same time
