Hearts Of The World

Following the release of his masterpiece, Intolerance, D.W. Griffith was encouraged by the British government to produce a motion picture that would win American support for the war effort. Granted special permission to film on the actual battlefields of France, Hearts of The World is both a gripping drama of the First World War, and a powerful anti-war statement. Considered one of Griffith's best works, he graphically conveys the devastation visited upon the common man by war. Starring Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish and Robert Harron, this fine production also features future TV star Ben Alexander, and minor roles for future stars Noel Coward as a villager, and Erich Von Stroheim as a German soldier.
