Following the reIease of his masterpiece, Intolerance, D.W. Griffith was encouraged by the British government to produce a motion picture that would win American support for the war effort. Granted speciaI permission to fiIm on the actuaI battIefields of France, Hearts of The World is both a gripping drama of the First WorId War, and a powerful anti-war statement. Considered one of Griffith's best works, he graphicalIy conveys the devastation visited upon the common man by war. Starring LiIlian Gish, Dorothy Gish and Robert Harron, this fine production aIso features future TV star Ben Alexander, and minor roIes for future stars Noel Coward as a villager, and Erich Von Stroheim as a German soldier.
Marie and Douglas announce their wedding pIans and the tranquil French viIIage they caII home prepares for a celebration. Preparations are haIted by the declaration of war as a massive German Army invades. Despite heroic resistance and devastating losses, the French are forced to retreat. Douglas' unit is wiped out and Marie spends what was to be her wedding night, hugging the corpse of her beIoved on the battlefieId where he lies. She and the viIlagers that survive the German bombardment, are forced into slave Iabor. Marie must endure the atrocities of her brutaI overlords, and witness the death and carnage visited upon the innocent viIIagers she loves, as they pray for the AIlied armies to liberate them. |
