"As a professor, I tended to think of history as run by impersonal forces. But when you see it in practice, you see the difference personalities make."

- Henry Kissinger

Orphans of the Storm (1921)
As the French Revolution looms, Henriette and Louise (Lillian and Dorothy Gish) venture to Paris to seek a cure for Louise’s blindness. A corrupt aristocrat separates the sisters, but Heriette falls in love with a kind aristocrat named Chevalier de Vaudrey (Joseph Schildkraut). When a new regime over throws the regime of the aristocrats, Chevalier de Vaudrey is accused of being an evil aristocrat and Henriette an aristocrat sympathizer. Who will save Vaudrey and Henriette from the guillotine in this D.W. Griffith classic film? View the 2010 Silent Film Schedule »
