Sobre o filme

Sam Wood?s film was missing for 75 years. All that was left was a one-minute long fragment. In 2004, however, a copy, virtually intact of this unique partnership between silent film stars Rodolfo Valentino and Gloria Swanson, was found as part of the estate of an Amsterdam private collector. The film is now once more in circulation, having undergone a delicate process of restoration by the Amsterdam Film Museum. Based on a novel by Elinor Glyn, the plot tells the drama of a woman, Theodora Fitzgerald (Swanson), the daughter of aristocrats who have lost all of their wealth, and who is all but forced into marriage for the sake of convenience, to a rich businessman who is much older - all under pressure from her family. On her honeymoon, she meets fascinating Lord Bracondale (Valentino), and her firm resolution to remain true to her husband is shaken.
