I give it as a high as a 4, not for quality, but for the chance to see a film with both Douglas Fairbanks and his soon-to-be ex-wife, Mary Pickford. I read that there was great tensions between the two when they made the film.
Note: everyone carries and uses a whip and whips it around threateningly at each other.
It's a little cute and little quaint and you can view some innovations Fairbanks made such as the alter kiss that Burton stole for his 1960s version of Taming of the Shrew.
The film sets in this 1929 version aren't so realistic for a Shakespearean piece and the house looks like a Spanish style villa in southern California.
