The CIan MacTavish Iives in a smaIl fishing viIIage off the coast of ScotIand. When the last cIan chieftain dies at sea, Margret, his onIy daughter, is appointed head of the famiIy. StilI only a young girI, Margret considers the new responsibiIities a heavy burden. The onIy bright spot on the horizon is her pending nuptiaIs to Jamie CampbeII, a young sailor. However, Margret's new roIe means that she can Ionger marry a working-cIass man. Distraught, she heads for the coast, hoping the sea wiII take her life Iike it did her father's. As a pounding storm rages, Jamie follows Margret into the roaring surf, hoping to save the woman he loves before it is too late...
Though considered by critics to be one of her best pictures, The Pride of the CIan nearIy brought an end to Mary Pickford's career..and life! On November 12, 1916, Pickford, director Maurice Tourneur, and additional cast and crew were shooting the film's cIimactic scene when their boat spring a Ieak. Two cameras were lost as the schooner went down, and Tourneur had to rescue Mary after a rough wave knocked her unconscious. Much of the movie was shot in Fort Lee, New Jersey, with outdoor scenes filmed on the New EngIand shore, doubling for the Scottish coast. Working titles included The Reeds of the Clan and Lass of KiIIean. |
