(Flash Review)

Can Judith save her village, Bethulia, from an evil tyrant or will her feelings for him rule over her moral duty before her people die from thirst and famine. The village is trapped by an attacking army which has surrounded the village walls and the only water well is located outside the walls (seems poorly planned no?). Judith uses her allure to win the eye of this tyrant to gain his trust and access to his personal chambers. Will she hatch a plan or succumb to his power status? This had elaborate battle scenes at the walls of a mid-evil village and the story was totally competent and compelling. A solid first effort from D. W. Griffith who was one of the most famous directors of the 19-teens.
