The seductive city, represented by a murderous vamp, nearly destroys the idyll of two rural innocents. Murnau's first Hollywood film pairs breathtaking studio artifice with the naturalism of an unbearably touching and luminous Janet Gaynor.

Working with the best on the studio lot Murnau offered up a masterpiece of visual, thematic and moral contrasts. An extraordinary work from the apotheosis of silent cinema.

Accompanied by the world's only silent movie harpist Elizabeth-Jane Baldry. Film historian Russell Merritt described her solo accompaniment at Pordenone Silent film festival in Italy as 'superb - fresh, bright - a revelation’.
