This rarely seen film directed by legendary screenwriter Frances Marion (Stella Maris, The Wind, Camille) provided Mary Pickford with one of her most fully realized adult characters.Angela (Pickford) tends a lighthouse in an Italian fishing village while her brothers are fighting at the front.She discovers a foreign sailor washed ashore, nurses him back to health and falls in love with him.After they marry and have a baby, she discovers that he is a German spy and that her innocent actions have helped cause the death of her brother.Pickford shows her astonishing range: from pure slapstick to moments of pathos to a harrowing descent into madness.
Marion, an Oscar
