Thornton Freeland

Writers:

Zoe Akins (screenplay), Zoe Akins (story)

Stars:

Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Dolores del Rio, Florence Desmond

Accused is a British melodrama starring American actor (and confirmed Anglophile) Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Somewhat incongruously cast as an Apache dancer, Fairbanks and his dance partner/wife Dolores Del Rioheadline a Paris musical. Fairbanks becomes the unwilling target for the attentions of performer Florence Desmond (the famed British impressionist, here playing a hateful adventuress). Desmond is later murdered with the dagger used by Fairbanks and his wife in their act, and Dolores is accused of the crime. A florid court trial unmasks the real killer. Zoe Akins, a prominent playwright of the 1920s whose once-celebrated works seem somewhat childish today, was one of the scenarists of Accused.

Great 1930s Doug Fairbanks Jr movie!

Posted by Unknown on Jan 10th 2018

Thanks again to my friends at Zeus for helping me find all the old movies I want to see. This is a great movie with Douglas Fairbanks Jr and the gorgeous Dolores Del Rio, both at the heights of their careers. Doug is usual charming, earnest self trying to prove his wife's innocence. Del Rio's huge emotional eyes are riveting. Great movie. Thanks again.
