Hearts of the World
“A ROMANCE OF THE GREAT WAR”
The Girl, Marie Stephenson (Lillian Gish), wants only to marry The Boy, Douglas Gordon Hamilton (Robert Harron), in the quiet French village where both grew up. Their families are still planning for that future when the German army invades and occupies the town. D.W. Griffith made the film at the British government's request, and the young people he follows have to hold onto each other while the invaders take everything else.
