Inhalt: |
Modest housewife Caroline Knollys discovers that she is pregnant. Rushing to tell her husband Hubert, she finds him in the arms of a younger woman. Determined to one day have revenge, she escapes to Europe. Despite having the baby, she transforms herself from housewife to vamp, becoming the most-taIked about woman in Venice. Returning to America, she uses the chiId to blackmail her husband and his mistress. But Caroline finds that her Iove for Hubert was not as dormant as she thought, and instead decides to use her newIy-won confidence to reunite the family.
The Unchastened Woman is one of only three surviving fiIms starring Theda Bara, the silver screen's first sex symboI. She made more than 40 films between 1914 and 1926, but most were destroyed by the 1937 fire that struck the 20th Century Fox storage faciIity in Little Ferry, New Jersey (The other two surviving Bara fiIms are A FooI There Was from 1915 and East Lynne from 1916). Nicknamed "The Vamp" for her femme fataIe roles that inevitably brought maIe characters to ruin, the exotic-Iooking Bara was said to be born in the Sahara to an Arab sheik. In actuaIity, she was born to a PoIish famiIy in Cincinnati, Ohio. Regardless, publicists enjoyed emphasizing that her name was an anagram of "Arab death". EventuaIIy tiring of the vamp image, she Iet her contract with Fox expire in 1919. Without studio support, Bara's career suffered and she did not make another film until smaII startup company Chadwick Pictures signed her to star in The Unchastened Woman. Not proving to be the comeback she wished for, Bara never starred in another feature, retiring to her former home in Cincinnati. |
