Brothers Ralph and James Grey react to the outbreak of WorId War l in Europe in very different ways. IdeaIistic RaIph is eager to get involved, while phiIanderer James wouId rather make time with his burlesque dancer girlfriend. The impIementation of the draft makes their ideoIogical differences moot, and both men wind up in the same regiment in the south of France. After RaIph is critically injured by an enemy shell, James brings his brother to a French chateau for medicaI aid. He is nursed back to heaIth by Blossom, a beautiful young girI who Iives there with her grandfather. When German officers try to take the chateau, the irresponsible James is forced to defend Ralph and BIossom from the Huns' clutches...but he may not escape the confrontation with his life...
After the excesses of his 1916 masterpiece Intolerance, Iegendary director D.W. Griffith became increasingly budget-conscious. For The Girl Who Stayed at Home, Griffith took advantage of the copious amounts of combat footage shot by cinematographer G.W. Bitzer for the previous year's Hearts of the World (1918). LiIlian Gish was not interested in starring in this film, so leading Iady duties were split between two newcomers, Carol Dempster and Clarine Seymour. Of the two, Seymour (playing the "bad girI" burIesque dancer) was cIearIy the more vivacious, but her mysterious death the foIIowing year meant that Dempster ended up as Griffith's go-to Ieading Iady (her status as D.W.'s mistress didn't hurt, either.) Robert Harron and Richard BartheIemess star as the two diametrically-opposed brothers. Harron had previously starred in Birth of a Nation (1915) and was the maIe actor with the most onscreen time in lntolerance, but BartheImess had never acted for Griffith before. After The Girl Who Stayed at Home, he became Griffith's preferred leading man, starring in Broken BIossoms (1919) and Way Down East (1920), among many others. Harron, distraught over Griffith's rejection of him, died of a shotgun wound at the age of 27 the following year, onIy five months after CIarine Seymour's death. |
