The Test of Donald Norton

1926 · 97 min

A slow, snowy silent melodrama where identity and betrayal play out with earnest, old-fashioned seriousness.

Overview: In the frozen north, a husky but not over-bright half-breed Indian seeks the identity of his white father. Any child in the audience could have told him this – despite the fact that the hissable hypocrite is actually presented as a man of character.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
