East Lynne (1931)

Director:

 Frank Lloyd

Writers:

 Tom Barry, Bradley King

Stars:

 Ann Harding, Clive Brook, Conrad Nagel 
 
Whenever a vaudeville comic of the 1920s wanted to get a quick laugh, he'd announce to his audience "Next Week: East Lynne." To many playgoers, this hoary stage adaptation of Mrs. Henry Wood's 1861 novel represented the height of Victorian nonesuch. Still, there were several silent film versions of East Lynne, all of which made money. 1931 yielded no fewer than two adaptations, one set in modern times and retitled Ex-Flame. Fox Studios' version restored the original title and the 1860s setting, but couldn't do much with that creaky plot. Ann Harding portrays Lady Isabel Carlisle, who nearly a decade of family hardships learns that her son has fallen ill. Despite being nearly blind as the result of a bomb explosion, Lady Carlisle returns home to see her son one last time--just before dying herself.

  1. Fairly clear visuals, clear vocals, no ending 3 Star Review

    Posted by on Jun 13th 2021

    I purchased this film with the full knowledge there was no copies left containing the ending. But I wanted to watch all of the 1931 Best Picture nominees. It's obviously not the fault of Zeus. He's done a masterful job salvaging all of these nearly lost films. As a matter of fact, I found the audio in this surprisingly clear given the age of the film. Other films of this era required significant restoration, and were done so exquisitely (Trader Horn, The Front Page, Cimarron, for example). So, I just have to hand it to Zeus for selling this, because no one in their right mind would expect a business to go about selling incomplete films, but that doesn't mean they're not worth seeing.
