Description
The Devil's Needle & Other Tales of Vice and Redemption presents three films from the 1910s. Heavy both on moralizing and melodrama, each confronts a hot-button social issue of the day with a bluntness one might not expect from the era. Mastered in HD from Library of Congress archival 35mm elements, the films are preserved reasonably well here, offering an invaluable link to some of the popular progressive cinema of the past.
