Tony America

1918 · 50 min

A quiet, earnest silent melodrama of immigrant hardship, played straight and slow, with little to distract the eye beyond its hero's misfortune.

Overview: Tony comes to America virtually the slave of his padrone, who holds him in debt for his passage money. But Rosa Picciano marries him to escape parental discipline and Tony hopes for freedom at last, but Rosa makes it plain that she does not love him.
