Unseen Forces - 1920 - 5/10
Young Miriam is cursed with a gift. She can see around corners.
Meaning, second sight, psychic ability, witchy power.
Early on, she meets young Clyde, and the attraction is immediate and powerful.
Years later, they reconnect. Clyde suffers a social climbing wife, Miriam has unpleasant renown.
Some bless her for her ability, others denounce her as a fraud.
Story by Robert W. Chambers (which I why I chased this down).
Ultimately, this is a maudlin soap opera. In other hands, how much better this could have been.
A recently found copy is on the
National Film Preservation Foundation's website.
(no sound - I queued up Scriabin piano sonatas those worked fine)
