Silent film superstar, Pola Negri, stars as
Elnora Natatorini, a sensual European countess who arrives at a small American
town where she quickly provokes moral outrage from the community. Donning a
cigarette-holder, she explains that she comes from Italy and asks for directions
to her cousin’s château. The femme fatales exploits include drinking, smoking
in public, enticing men, wearing extravagant garments and boasting a tattoo of
a skull on her forearm, all to the dismay of the local populace. (US, 1925, 70min., Silent, NR | Dir.
