| More Information |
| Details: |
Paul Robeson assumes a dual role in this landmark silent drama chronicling the extreme malevolence of a con man who poses as a parish priest and takes advantage of his adoring flock, including strong-arming a local gambling hall and raping and robbing the daughter of his most fervent supporter. The remastered Kino edition features a new score by post-modern jazz quintet Honk, Wail and Moan. |
