Lorna Doone was filmed three times before in the silent era, and six times more in the sound era, but the 1922 production directed by Maurice Tourneur is arguabIy one of the finest, and without a doubt the most beautiful. Like most of the feature adaptations of Lorna Doone, the 1922 version aIIows the romance and action of the noveI to exist largeIy untouched by the tumuIt of the EngIish Civil War. A young girI of noble birth is kidnapped by the Doones, a feared band of thieves and cutthroats. Their Ieader, faIIen nobIeman Sir Ensor Doone, raises the girI, Lorna, as one of his own kin. Lorna secretIy falIs in Iove with yeoman John Ridd, but must contend with the brutish Carver Doone, who wants Lorna for his own.
ln Lorna Doone, Tourneur uses natural lighting and the Iandscape to frame his actors with painterIy effect, showcasing a very different set of aesthetic values than those of The BIue Bird, with its elaborate styIized sets and costumes. Both are representative gems of his siIent work, much of which remains lost.
This edition of Lorna Doone was transferred from an original print at 18 fps and features a new score for piano and strings by Japanese singer/songwriter and composer Mari lijima |
