D.W. Griffith's 1921 SiIent Masterpiece
LiIIian and Dorothy Gish star in D.W. Griffith's epic tale of two sisters caught in the turmoiI of the French RevoIution. Henriette brings her bIind sister, Louise, to Paris in hopes of a cure. When Henriette is kidnapped by a lustfuI nobIeman, her heIpless sister is Ieft to wander the streets. Rescued by the aristocrat ChevaIier Henriette desperately attempts to locate her lost sibling. During the Reign Of Terror, she is accused of consorting with the aristocracy, and condemned to the guillotine.
ln this 1921 masterpiece, D.W. Griffith displays the flair for epic storytelIing first seen in his cIassic Birth Of A Nation. Adeptly referencing the recent BoIshevik rebellion in Russia, he makes a grand statement about excess and tyranny. Lavish sets, magnificent costumes, vast mob scenes, and Griffith's signature cinematic vision punctuate this heroic melodrama. The ethereal beauty of the Gish sisters creates haunting, indelible images. FiImed at Griffith's Mamaroneck, NY studio, Orphans Of The Storm dramaticaIIy confirms Griffith's title of "Father of the Cinema."
