"When a Man Loves" is a short drama directed by D.W. Griffith. The film is included in our program to illustrate the work of two of our stars: actor Robert Harron and cinematographer Billy Bitzer.
A country girl's suitor is rejected by her father in favor of a much older man, his old buddy. Robert Harron has a small part as the preacher's assistant.
We trust that silent film lovers will not judge harshly the quality of the print. Many early D.W. Griffith films are only available in a paper print format, and we are all very lucky that they have survived the trials of time for us to enjoy.
