A Flash of light

Director: D.W. Griffith | Production Country: United States | Year: 1910 | Production Company: Biograph | FLM21482 | Film from the collection of EYE (Amsterdam) - www.eyefilm.nl The chemist John Rogers marries Belle, despite the fact that her older sister is truly the one who is in love with him. Belle is a frivolous type of person, and does not like her husband's work. When an explosion makes him blind and deaf, she leaves him. Because Belle's sister loves John, she takes her sister’s place, and pretends to be John’s wife. After an eye operation, John is once again able to see, and the older sister tries to get Belle to come back, but then gets scared; she opens the curtains all in one go, so that John will remain blind forever. And thus Belle's sister still manages to get “her husband” back.
