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