D.W. Griffith
Description:D.W. Griffith's penchant for Victorian melodrama reached it's height of expression in WAY DOWN EAST. First performed in 1898, Lottie Blair Parker's play was one of the most successful stage works ever written, a theatrical chestnut, heavy with sentiment, that cried out for the touch of the master. Griffith captured the appeal of Parker's original, while embossing it with devices borrowed from other popular melodramas, such as the climactic chase across an ice floe (inspired by stage adaptations of Uncle Tom's Cabin). Lillian Gish stars as a small-town girl who is seduced, impregnated, and cast aside by Lennox Sanderson, a wealthy playboy (Lowell Sherman). to escape the shame of having a fatherless child, Anna changes her name and starts a new life in a small farming community, where she meets David, an icon of male virtue and decency (Richard Barthelmess). Their delicate happiness is threatened when Lennox arrives in town, and word of Anna's unsavory past begins to spread.
"Way Down East" on Blu-Ray from Kino International brings to life D.W. Griffith?s 1920 silent film masterpiece, a landmark in cinematic history renowned for its emotional depth and technical innovation. The story follows Anna Moore, portrayed by the legendary Lillian Gish, as she navigates hardship and redemption in rural New England. This edition offers a beautifully restored transfer with enhanced visuals and audio accompaniment that honors the original score. Kino International is celebrated for its dedication to preserving classic films with meticulous restorations and insightful bonus features, making this release essential for collectors and cinephiles alike. Lillian Gish, often called "The First Lady of American Cinema," delivers one of her most iconic performances here; her career spanned over 75 years with notable works like "The Birth of a Nation" (1915) and "Broken Blossoms" (1919). Director D.W. Griffith revolutionized filmmaking through narrative techniques still influential today?his credits include foundational epics such as "Intolerance." Richard Barthelmess stars alongside Gish; he later earned acclaim in films like "Tol'able David." Supporting cast members include Mary Hay and Burr McIntosh, both respected stage-to-screen talents of their era.
