Country: US
Technical: bw 77m
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Cast: Lionel Barrymore, Phillips Holmes, Nancy Carroll
Synopsis:
A man settles in Germany after the war but falls in love with the wife of the man he killed.
Review:
Mercifully brief melodrama, terribly dated in its acting and sentimentality, and not even a success at the time. Lubitsch achieves some striking effects and his lightness of touch is at times in evidence, but the entire concept is contrived and the treatment hyperbolic.
