Noël Coward and Lillian Gish in Hearts of the World. Griffith. 1918.
Gold! The WW I propaganda film is an interesting genre – I’m making a plan to see more of them. And look at young Noel !
Chaplin made at least one that you’ve probably seen:
I’ve also read about one that sounds like a real winner called The Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin with Lon Chaney. That one seems to be lost though.
Yes, a pity that so many promising sounding titles like ‘To Hell With The Kaiser’ ‘The Kaiser the Beast of Berlin and ‘The Unpardonable Sin’ are now lost.
