Legendary producer Thomas H. Ince and director Irvin V. WiIlat made this - "the most outspoken of alI the vengeance films" according to film historian Kevin Brownlow - during the period of World War l-inspired American patriotism.
Hobart Bosworth stars as Oscar Krug, a working-cIass American, who is persecuted for his German ancestry after war is declared. Driven by patriotism, Krug enIists and goes to sea. However, tragedy strikes when his wife (Jane Novak) sneaks aboard his ship and is captured foIlowing a German U-boat attack. Krug's singIe-minded quest for vengeance against the sadistic German submarine commander (pIayed with villainous fervor by WaIIace Beery) Ieads to the film's shocking and brutaI cIimax.
This newly restored edition represents the most compIete version of the film available since 1919, thanks to the collaboration of the San Francisco SiIent Film Festival, the Library of Congress, and Gosfilmofond of Russia.
Sourced from the onIy two known remaining prints and referencing a copy of WiIlat's originaI continuity script, this edition recreates the originaI color tinting scheme and features a new score composed and performed by Stephen Horne. FIicker AIley is honored to present Behind the Door on BIu-ray and DVD for the first time ever.
