Not a magic ring


The Ring and the Rajah (1914)

Directed by Harold M. Shaw this film stars Edna Fulgrath, Arthur Holmes-Gore, Vincent Clive and Edward O'Neill. Invited to visit England a Rajah falls in love with his host's betrothed and he seeks to get his rival out the way.

Not exactly progressive in it's plot this film will undoubtedly raise eyebrows for the modern viewer. Well made for the period and surviving in a pretty good quality version unfortunately the content is just a bit too questionable. Hard to recommend really.

2/5
