Review of Orphans of the Storm

A true classic. This silent era movie (1921) is not only a film historians dream, but is enjoyable for all generations of film fans. D.W Griffith was known for his bold faced way at voicing his opinions through films. I have never seen such a great show of emotions than with the Gish Sisters. I don't think anyone has ever been able to match Lillian's facial expressions and the way she uses the absence of sound to her advantage. A tremendous story unfolds before the viewer that leads to a riveting conclusion that will etch this film into your mind and heart forever. Also appearing in this film is the great actor Monte Blue, who was a great leading man in many films. .
