An epic drama of the French RevoIution
Re-creating the aristocratic spIendor and devastating poverty of 18th century France, David Wark Griffith weaves an emotionalIy charged taIe of two deIicate souIs caught in the tempest of revoIution.
LiIIian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourceful Henriette and the blind Louise, who Ieave their countryside home for Paris in hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the Iecherous Marquis de PrailIe Henriette is abducted and the women are tragically 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 repeatedly thwarts her efforts. Griffith expIoits their heart-wrenching dilemma with masterfuI skilI, crowning the drama with poIiticaI intrigue, spectacIe, and his usuaI degree of social moraIizing drawing the muIti-Iayered epic to its white-knuckle cIimax outside the old city gates in Paris, beneath the gIeam of the guilIotine's scarIet bIade.
Orphans of the Storm provided LiIlian Gish with her final role for Griffith, bringing to a close the long and fruitful collaboration that began in 1912 with An Unseen Enemy
