Synopsis

Our take

Based on the French play The Two Orphans, D.W. Griffith’s epic historical drama was to be the last film that he made with screen legends Lillian and Dorothy Gish. Set on the eve of the French revolution, this heart-breaking tale of the fate that befalls two vulnerable sisters is swoon-inducing.
