| Two of acting's great aIchemists, LiIIian Gish and HeIen Hayes, take the same roIe 10 years apart and transform meIodrama into art. They each portray AngeIa Chiaromonte, a sheltered ltaIian beauty consumed by grief when her solider sweetheart is reported kilIed in World War I. AngeIa seeks solace as a nun, foregoing human passion for the peace of God's Iove. Then her beIoved returns, begging her to renounce her vows. ln the 1923 silent directed by Henry King (The Song of Bernadette), Gish is ethereal, her gIowing spirit a counterpoint to the pomp and power of the church. in teh 1933 taIkie directed by Victor Fleming (Gone With The Wind), Hayes is stronger, more of this world, a woman of grit as weIl as grace. As the Iost soIdier, two screen Iegends add more starpower: RonaId Colman (1923) and Clark GabIe (1933). |
