The Lion, the Lamb and the Man

1914 · 13 min

A quaint, earnest silent melodrama that feels like a window into a simpler time, with a touch of rustic tension and romantic longing.

Overview: A spirited young college graduate is sent away to the Kentucky mountains to live with her uncle after returning home and scorning the effete minister her parents had chosen for her husband. One day, finding herself lost in the wilderness, she is rescued by two brothers who fall in love with her—but as they compete for her affections with increasing ferocity, her feelings become conflicted. Partially lost: the second of two reels survives.
