"The tyranny of kings and nobles is hard to bear, but the tyranny of the maddened mob under blood-lusting rulers is intolerable" --Title card of the film
"No more gorgeous thing has ever been offered on the the screen. It has motion within motion, action within action, and it builds up to crashing climaxes with all that superb deftnition which makes Mr Griffith first and always the showman". So read one review in Moving Picture World after Orphans of the Storm premiered. After watching the film you might agree that the comments are exaggerated, yet still relevant more that 70 years after they were written. D.W. Griffith, the father of the motion picture, was directing his favourite actress, Lillian Gish, and her sister Dorothy, in this melodramatic epic set in revolutionary France.
