A Romance of Seville Audience Reviews

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
malcolmgsw In trivia someone has stated this was the first British sound film in colour.This is wrong on both counts.Firstly it is not a sound film.It is a silent with an added music track which includes some songs,not synchronized in any way.Secondly Pathe colour was only stencil colour.Kinema colour was a red green process that was used from well over 100 years ago.I think the first British colour sound film would be Wings Of the Morning.Turning to the film itself it is only 58 minutes long but feels a lot longer.It is terribly dull and I doubt that BIP got much further mileage out of this by reissuing it in this form.The acting style would have been outdated then,and having to read so many inter titles must have put people off going to see it.
