East Lynne 1931 - A powerful melodrama with good performances



IMDB Link
IMDB rating: 7,2


Director: Frank Lloyd
Main Cast: Ann Harding, Clive Brook, Conrad Nagel


"There were several silent film versions of East Lynne, all of which made money. 1931 yielded no fewer than two adaptations, one set in modern times and retitled Ex-Flame. Fox Studios' version restored the original title and the 1860s setting, but couldn't do much with that creaky plot. Ann Harding portrays Lady Isabel Carlisle, who nearly a decade of family hardships learns that her son has fallen ill. Despite being nearly blind as the result of a bomb explosion, Lady Carlisle returns home to see her son one last time - just before dying herself." - www.allmovie.com
