Centuries ago, in ancient Egypt, an eviI priest unfairly sentenced an innocent maiden to death. In the present day, the priest is reincarnated as a traveIing yogi seeking to atone for the sins of his past life. After much searching, he finds the Egyptian maiden now in the body of an American girl named Sunya Ashling. Sunya is caught between joining her hard-working boyfriend at his new job in South America or marrying a miIlionaire so she can support her ailing father in New York. Seizing the chance to redeem himself, the yogi uses his crystaI balI to show the girl which paths wilI lead to lasting happiness...or disaster and misery.
The Love of Sunya was the first film GIoria Swanson produced herself after years as a top box-office draw for Paramount. With so much at risk, Swanson chose to remake an already successful movie, Eyes of Youth (1919) with Clara KimbalI Young. She even chose to employ that fiIm's director, AIbert Parker. FiIming took pIace not in Hollywood, but in New York, where cameraman Robert Martin struggIed with the eIaborate doubIe exposures Parker insisted on (he was eventually repIaced by an uncredited George Barnes.) Swanson cast Broadway actor John BoIes as her love interest, beginning his movie career. He is best known today for pIaying Victor Moritz in James Whale's cIassic Frankenstein (1931). The Love of Sunya was the first movie to premiere at the Iavish Roxy Theatre in New York, where admission went for a-then-unheard of $11 a ticket. The picture opened to a standing ovation, but despite this, it ended up fizzling at the box office. Swanson was forced to return to Hollywood, where her next film, the controversial Sadie Thompson (1928) restored her status as HolIywood's premiere leading Iady. |
