Reaching For the Moon (1930)

An American romantic comedy directed by Edmund Goulding, starring Douglas Fairbanks.
A rich man goes on the same cruise as the woman who he is interested in. He is coached by his valet who makes a love potion for him which is sampled by too many people.
The plot was nearly non-existant and didn't make sense. The editing was extremely sloppy to the point of a character teleporting into a scene. We all know how I feel about harsh and treble-biased audio with lots of dead air hiss. There was one scene in which Fairbanks performed acrobatic stunts (pictured) and it was the only good part of the film. Technically a disaster, I have to rate this bad for being so poorly made.
