Susie, a plain young country girl, secretly loves a neighbor boy, William. She believes in him and sacrifices much of her own happiness to promote his own ambitions, all without his knowledge.

This artfully simple—yet utterly lovely—story from early cinema pioneer D.W. Griffith is a truly ravishing gift that highlights the talents of his muse, Lillian Gish. A tender, emotionally rich melodrama of sacrifice and love, True Heart Susie is one of the most flawless American films ever made.
