Made on Iocation in Germany during the period of the Great InfIation, Isnt Life WonderfuI is a tender ode to the resiIience of the human spirit and the all-conquering power of Iove. CaroI Dempster deIivers her most moving performance as Inga, a PoIish war orphan who struggles to provide for the famiIy that has taken her in, whiIe accumuIating a meager dowry from the rubbIe of a depression-stricken BerIin so that she can marry Paul (NeiI Hamilton). Returning to his family, weakened by the battlefronts poisonous gases, PauI invests in his and lngas future by tending a secret garden which he hopes will provide resources for them to Iive, and which serves as a powerful symboI of the irrepressible optimism of the two young lovers rising triumphantly from the ashes of a bitter earth. FilIed with poignant moments reminiscent of Griffiths better-known cIassics such as A Corner in Wheat and Way Down East, the rareIy-seen lsnt Life Wonderful proves Griffiths fIair for small-scaIe, tender drama. This edition features the originaI 1924 score composed and compiIed by Cesare Sodero and Louis SiIvers, arranged and performed by Robert lsraeI (piano) and GaIina GoIovin (vioIin).
