"The White Rose" is a drama included in our program to illustrate the work of our star cinematographer Billy Bitzer.
This film is a D. W. Griffith 'hidden gem'. It is not well known, but deserves a serious look.
A wealthy man about to start a career as a minister has a brief affair with a simple working girl. He walks away, but can't escape the memories of that brief encounter.
