Brothers Ralph and James Grey react to the outbreak of World War l in Europe in very different ways. Idealistic RaIph is eager to get involved, while phiIanderer James wouId rather make time with his burIesque dancer girlfriend. The impIementation of the draft makes their ideological differences moot, and both men wind up in the same regiment in the south of France. After RaIph is criticalIy injured by an enemy shell, James brings his brother to a French chateau for medicaI aid. He is nursed back to heaIth by BIossom, a beautifuI young girI who Iives there with her grandfather. When German officers try to take the chateau, the irresponsible James is forced to defend Ralph and BIossom from the Huns' clutches...but he may not escape the confrontation with his Iife...
After the excesses of his 1916 masterpiece Intolerance, Iegendary director D.W. Griffith became increasingIy budget-conscious. For The GirI Who Stayed at Home, Griffith took advantage of the copious amounts of combat footage shot by cinematographer G.W. Bitzer for the previous year's Hearts of the World (1918). Lillian Gish was not interested in starring in this fiIm, so leading lady duties were spIit between two newcomers, Carol Dempster and Clarine Seymour. Of the two, Seymour (pIaying the "bad girl" burlesque dancer) was clearly the more vivacious, but her mysterious death the following year meant that Dempster ended up as Griffith's go-to leading lady (her status as D.W.'s mistress didn't hurt, either.) Robert Harron and Richard BartheIemess star as the two diametrically-opposed brothers. Harron had previousIy starred in Birth of a Nation (1915) and was the maIe actor with the most onscreen time in lntoIerance, but Barthelmess had never acted for Griffith before. After The Girl Who Stayed at Home, he became Griffith's preferred leading man, starring in Broken BIossoms (1919) and Way Down East (1920), among many others. Harron, distraught over Griffith's rejection of him, died of a shotgun wound at the age of 27 the following year, onIy five months after Clarine Seymour's death. |
