Danielle Darrieux stars as Arabella Delvaire in this baroque adaptation of Pierre Benoit's novel Bethshabee. Arabella is a woman of the world who arrives at a remote Foreign Legion outpost for a rendezvous with her current lover, Captain Duveuil. It so happens that one of Arabella's previous amours, Captain Somerville (Paul Meurisse), is also serving at the same post. So much for joining the Foreign Legion to forget. A climactic knife duel "solves" the film's various plot complications. Despite its Foreign Legion background, Bethsabee has next to no action, which must have made things difficult when the film was distributed to the U.S.

A renowned sculptor aged about fifty years, François Bressolles falls for the young Catherine Collet whom he convinces without difficulty to pose for him. Complications ensue when he starts to go blind.

A police inspector patiently and tirelessly stays on Barrault's trail, without putting him under arrest, though convinced he is the murderer, and waiting for the moment when he feels Barrault will break under the strain of his own religious fanaticism (IMDb).

Expressing post-war cultural internationalism, this silent film follows the mysterious Orchid and the man who loves her.

Lançado em Paris em abril de 1906 e posteriormente distribuído com legendas recém-traduzidas em maio de 1907 nos Estados Unidos. É dividido em 25 cenas separadas, desde a chegada a Belém, até onde José e Maria são afastados do estábulo para o sepultamento de Cristo. Pelos padrões do período, foi uma obra ambiciosa e prodigiosa, bem como épica em tempo de execução, já que é de uma época em que a maioria dos filmes duravam apenas alguns minutos. Em cada uma das sequências, Guy procura ritualizar a vida e a morte de Cristo com uma série de ações gestuais, em que as fases da vida de Cristo podem ser segmentadas em uma série de performances tableaux.

It was the first film version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
