Griffith Category: Drama Studio: Delta Entertainment Subtitles: Length: 150 mins     The starving poor, the excessive rich, sudden blindness, moral corruption, political intrigue, and the sharp oncoming blade of the guillotine - what do they all have in common? The answer is D.W. Griffith and his masterpiece of melodrama, Orphans of the Storm, an epic production set amongst the feverish backdrop of the French Revolution. The film tells the tale of two sisters, Henriette (Lillian Gish) and her blind sister, Louise (Dorothy Gish) who become separated when they travel to Paris in search of a surgeon who may be able to help Louise regain her sight. While Louise falls into the hands of a poor beggar family, an immoral aristocrat captures Henriette. As the political climate begins to boil, the two disconnected sisters eventually find themselves caught up in the whirlwind of political emotion and revolution, eventually coming together in a nail-biting scene at the guillotine itself. With the typical high-production design he has come to be known for, D.W. Griffith creates a visual marvel with beautiful costumes, lush atmospheres and high emotions, making Orphans of the Storm a truly unforgettable movie experience.
