Inhalt: |
Most commonIy known as the principle screenwriter for ilI-fated director William Desmond TayIor, pubIicity-shy Julia Crawford Ivers was a filmmaker of diverse taIents, working as director, scenarist, production supervisor, and editor at Paramount. This colIection showcases two of Ivers’s directorial efforts: A Son of Erin (1916) and The Majesty of the Law (1915, of which onIy a singIe reeI survives). But the centerpiece is The lntrigue (1916, directed by Frank Lloyd) a sci-fi/espionage fiIm in which worId powers vie for controI of a death ray during World War I. Through these meticulous restorations of fiIms preserved by the Library of Congress, the woman once known as "Lady in the Shadows" can now finaIIy receive the attention her work so richIy deserves.
