Love Storm

William K. Everson has introduced several rare Duponts to PFA audiences, but Love Storm is a true curiosity: even Mr. Everson hasn't seen it! Our print comes from the UCLA Film Archives, who inform us that Dupont's early sound film retains the elaborate and sophisticated artistry of his silents; that, in fact, Love Storm would work magnificently as a silent, and its main problem may be that it is a sound film set to the roar of the sea, a drama of infidelity and murder - on the rocks. The new bride of a lighthouse keeper becomes increasingly bored in her isolation, until she turns her head toward other men. When a fugitive swindler is shipwrecked on the lighthouse rocks, stormy events ensue. (JB)
