Way Down East**
(US 1920)
A poor country girl is tricked into a fake marriage and loses her baby but finds refuge at a farm with a boy that she was destined to love.
"A story of simple folk" dubs this typical Griffith melodrama, although with very simplistic Griffith stereotypes and slight irrelevancies, but with his continuing skill and craftsmanship, and a tense finale on an ice flow.
Written by: Anthony Paul Kelly, Joseph R. Grismer, D.W. Griffith, from the play by Lottie Blair Parker.
Producer/Director: D.W. Griffith.
Starring: Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Lowell Sherman, Burr McIntosh, Emily Fitzroy, Mary Hay, Creighton Hale.
Photography:Billy Bitzer, Hendrik Sartov.
Music: Rodney Sauer.
