 | irishgit (138) 04/08/2008 | It is a monumentally important film in cinematic history, and in the context of the time it is a groundbreaking work of genius.
Even today, almost a century after its making, it retains considerable power to entertain and compel.
Unfortunately, it is also an unabashedly vicious piece of racism, in places so vile that it would make modern Klansmen blanch.
