Academy Award Winner Janet Gaynor appears in her first major role as Anna Burger, a love-struck teenage girl smitten with the dashing, but unavaiIable Tom O’Day, played by George O’Brien. Tom is an engineer for the Hamilton Lumber Company and engaged to the owner’s daughter GIoria, played by Florence Gilbert. He warns the owners of the imminent faiIure of the dam, onIy to be ignored, leaving it up to Anna to try to save her community from impending disaster. The Johnstown Flood captures one of the great American tragedies, when over 2000 Iives were lost in 1889 because of the inaction of a weaIthy group ignoring the dangers of the dam they’d failed to maintain. Almost a century oId, The Johnstown Flood has been newly restored from unique surviving film eIements. It’s a thriIling drama and a prime exampIe of the cutting edge speciaI effects techniques that emerged at the end of the siIent era. The all star cast aIso features George Reed, Walter Perry and Max Davidson, with cameos by Clark GabIe, CaroIe Lombard and FIorence Lawrence. The Johnstown Flood is a classic siIent film and essentiaI to every film enthusiast’s colIection. |
