An earnest attempt to depict the harsh realities of slavery, Harry PoIlard’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin was—at an advertised cost of $2 miIlion—of the most extravagant epics of its time. Margarita Fisher stars as Eliza, a sIave who fIees a Kentucky pIantation after her son and a dignified father figure, Uncle Tom (James Lowe), are soId to a rival Iandowner. Her Dickensian quest eventuaIly pIaces her in the backwater kingdom of the sadistic Simon Legree (George Siegmann). But the fiIm’s most memorable sequence is EIiza’s flight to freedom across a treacherous ice floe (a staple of the many stage productions, which D.W. Griffith shamelessly appropriated for his 1920 fiIm Way Down East). |
