THE LOVE LIGHT (1921) starring Mary Pickford

The LOVE LIGHT takes place during the First World War, where Mary Pickford plays a young Italian woman, Angela Carlotti, who tends the local lighthouse and falls in love with a man she rescues from the sea.  When her small village suffers devastating losses from the war, and Angela realizes her lover is a German spy, the story takes a dramatic and unexpected turn.  Angela must come to terms with her mistakes and set things right while finding her strength through such troubled times. Angela’s bravery and beautiful spirit bring love and light into the lives of those around her, giving hope for a brighter future after so mush pain and heartache.

Mary’s dear friend, Frances Marion wrote and directed the film which features Frances’s husband, Fred Thomson, as Mary’s love interest.  The LOVE LIGHT was filmed in Carmel and Monterey, California which asueraded as the Italian coastline and the stunning cinematography of Henry Cronjager and Charles Rosher is revelatory today.

This restored version of  THE LOVE LIGHT has been digitally mastered in high definition with an original orchestral score by Mariah Manser.  This film is presented through the generosity of Mary Pickford Foundation.
