The two parts I made of photos from the movie put together. :)
For the film fan making the case that silents were truly golden, The Red Lily is a color that serves them well. Hue plays an important part in this black-and-white classic, using sepia, red and orange to convey a complexity of mood and emotion. After the death of her father, Marise La Noue (Enid Bennett) can find no safe haven, so she runs off to Paris with Jean Leonnec, the mayor's son (Ramon Novarro). Seeking a better life in Paris, Jean and Marise plan to meet at a specific time and place. When circumstances intervene, the two lovers miss their rendezvous, never reunite and are destined to lead separate lives that become more and more degrading. Marise turns to prostitution and Jean succumbs to the delightful debauchery of a thief named Bo-Bo (Wallace Beery in one of his earliest roles)...
Mason, un agent secret britannique, est intrigué par le suicide de son supérieur au Ministère des Affaires étrangères. Il avait enquêté sur lui et n'avait rien trouvé de bizarre. Il pense que l'épouse du disparu peut connaître la raison de son désespoir, mais le Ministère veut qu'il abandonne l'affaire. Il engage un inspecteur à la retraite comme détective privé. Ce qu'ils découvrent dépasse leur imagination, pire Mason est face à un nouveau dilemme : sa femme l'a trompé avec un collègue.
