What happened?


Romance of a Jewess (1908)

Written & directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Florence Lawrence, George Gebhardt and Gladys Egan. We see a Jewish family in a melodrama.

To be honest it is pretty hard to figure out what is going on in this film, the image quality is not great and there are few inter titles. Not really being able to decipher the plot beyond the basics means this is not one of the best short films out there. There are much better silent films and much better Griffith films to watch.

2/5
