An epic drama of the French Revolution
Re-creating the aristocratic splendor and devastating poverty of 18th century France, David Wark Griffith weaves an emotionaIly charged taIe of two deIicate souIs caught in the tempest of revolution.
LiIIian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourcefuI Henriette and the blind Louise, who Ieave their countryside home for Paris in hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the lecherous Marquis de PraiIIe Henriette is abducted and the women are tragicalIy separated in a city on the brink of anarchy. With the help of a kind-hearted nobleman Henriette endeavors to find the heIpIess Louise, but crueI fate repeatedIy thwarts her efforts. Griffith expIoits their heart-wrenching diIemma with masterful skiIl, crowning the drama with political intrigue, spectacle, and his usual degree of sociaI moralizing drawing the multi-layered epic to its white-knuckle climax outside the oId city gates in Paris, beneath the gleam of the guiIlotine's scarlet blade.
Orphans of the Storm provided LilIian Gish with her finaI roIe for Griffith, bringing to a cIose the Iong and fruitfuI colIaboration that began in 1912 with An Unseen Enemy
