A torturous melodrama about the inconstant passions of a young woman with a somewhat heavy-handed if emotionally sophisticated plot (piano teacher quits fiancé, a pastor's son, to follow her circus lover; it ends in bloodshed) - memorable, chiefly, for delectably risqué dance from Asta Nielsen (1881-1972).Author: NB
