Review of The Toll of the Sea (1923) by Joel A — 09 Oct 2014
A beautiful & soulful tragedy about a beautiful Asain woman (Lotus Flower) who finds an American man who mysteriously has washed up at sea.
Naturally she falls in love with him but sadly he must leave & in time forgets her, her story of loss is so touching & you really feel for her. This is actually a whole film in color which is an amazing achievement for 1922.
This is a masterful that was only rediscovered in the mid 1980's. It's a must see silent that is much more than a common Melodrama.
