Life's Weaving

1913

A creaky silent melodrama whose stagey gestures and simple revenge plot feel distant and slow to a modern viewer.

Overview
Irene Dupont, the pretty little French girl, in which John Braddon, Sr. had placed his affections, tires him and he casts her aside. Thorwald, a member in a political gang of "highbinders," unable to influence John Braddon, arranges with Irene to wreak vengeance upon his head, by making love to John Braddon, Jr.
