Synopsis: Long though lost, Four Sons reemerged in the 1960s, proving anew that the silent films of director John Ford were every bit as accomplished as his talkies. More "Germanic" in tone and texture than later Ford films, Four Sons is the story of the Bernle family of Bavaria. Mother Bernle (Margaret Mann Read More
Actors: Erich Von Stroheim, Fay Wray, George Fawcett, George Nichols, ZaSu Pitts, Maude George

While filmmaker Erich Von Stroheim would insist that he'd been enthralled by the book since it first came out in 1902, it is more likely that he didn't make the novel's acquaintance until seeing that 1915 film. Whatever the Read More

Synopsis: Written and directed by Rupert Hughes to take a jab at the inconsistent divorce laws (back in the days when marriages were thought to be sacred), this satire ends on a surprisingly melodramatic note.
