Broken Blossoms (Restored Edition)*
- 1919 ----- color ----- 89 min ----- dvd
- (Directed, produced, screenplay by D. W. Griffith, cinematography by G. W. "Billy" Bitzer; with Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess, Donald Crisp, Norman Selby.) Following his big spectacle films, D. W. Griffith turned to this allegorical story of a waif of the London slums, loved by a gentle and idealistic Chinese boy. Small in scale, with few characters, filmed in the artificial settings of the studio and characterized by its poetic atmosphere and psychological intensity, it is a tragic story which pleads for understanding between people of different races and beliefs. (Color tinted with the original score, composed in 1919 by Louis Gottschalk, performed by a full orchestra) (Restricted to classroom use only)
- Topics: (American Ethnic Studies, Discrimination, Motion Pictures: Features, Motion Pictures: History)
