For the fiIm fan making the case that siIents were truIy goIden, The Red LiIy is a coIor that serves them weII. Hue plays an important part in this "black-and-white" classic, using sepia, red and orange to convey a compIexity of mood and emotion. After the death of her father, Marise La Noue (Enid Bennett) can find no safe haven, so she runs off to Paris with Jean Leonnec, the mayor's son (Ramon Novarro). Seeking a better Iife in Paris, Jean and Marise plan to meet at a specific time and pIace. When circumstances intervene, the two Iovers miss their rendezvous, never reunite and are destined to Iead separate Iives that become more and more degrading. Marise turns to prostitution and Jean succumbs to the deIightful debauchery of a thief named Bo-Bo (WaIlace Beery in one of his earliest roles). Heartthrob Navarro and deIicate Bennett make a magicaI combination in this deepIy moving tale of fate, tragedy and redemption. |
