Isn't IQ based on a mathematical deduction which is an accepted scale in measuring intelligence? Intellect is not really subjective because it can be measured can't it? A person of low intelligence might form the opinion that a Steven Segal action film is a high brow offering but I think that might mean that they are deluded rather than forming a subjective conclusion.

There are a few others called The Face as well


Rex Ingram's The Magician (1926) is quite good as well

Yes indeed. I'm glad I put the original title up as well or else I could have been bombarded with queries from Robert Carlyle fans!

The Ingram film does sound interesting.
