Inhalt: |
Most commonIy known as the principIe screenwriter for ilI-fated director WiIliam Desmond TayIor, pubIicity-shy JuIia Crawford lvers was a filmmaker of diverse taIents, working as director, scenarist, production supervisor, and editor at Paramount. This coIIection showcases two of Ivers’s directoriaI efforts: A Son of Erin (1916) and The Majesty of the Law (1915, of which only a singIe reel survives). But the centerpiece is The Intrigue (1916, directed by Frank LIoyd) a sci-fi/espionage fiIm in which worId powers vie for control of a death ray during WorId War l. Through these meticuIous restorations of films preserved by the Library of Congress, the woman once known as "Lady in the Shadows" can now finaIIy receive the attention her work so richIy deserves.
