These two young women both fall in love with John, love which is complicated by the fact that he is still married to (though separated from) a bad wife.

Reviews

We get two quite contrasting doses of Mary Pickford in this touching drama about two girls. One is a cosseted lass, who cannot walk and is shielded by her wealthy, well meaning, family. The other a bit of an urchin - able bodied but living the harshest of lives in an orphanage. When the latter is adopted, she is optimistic - but that soon fades as her new "mother" turns out to be a wrong un' (and is imprisoned after violently beating her). The rather weak-willed, prosperous, husband "Risca" (Conway Tearle) is not quite so objectionable, though, and he is soon as drawn to "Unity" as he has been for quite a while to the invalid "Stella". When a surgeon manages to get "Stella" walking, she sets about entering a world full of war, pain, anguish - and love - and the story takes off with Pickford in her element. She plays both characters with aplomb and distinction. In "Stella" we have a more typically beautiful, breezy performance; in "Unity" a much grittier, earthier, frankly uglier, one - and she pulls them both off superbly. Though both roles target our sympathy glands, neither drag us into the cheesy world of sentiment nor of too much melodrama. Tearle is strong in his role as the would-be suitor, as is Marcia Manon as the truly odious "Louisa". I wasn't hugely impressed by the ending - but I'm equally unsure how I would have liked it to conclude. The photography borders on the insightful - the use of close ups almost seems to let us see into their minds, to tell us what they are thinking. Certainly one of Pickford’s best.

Scales is a tense, claustrophobic drama that spends one evening with four characters, who are trapped in a combustable boiling pot of an apartment. American boxer, Darnell, his PR manager and girlfriend, Maria, troubled entrepreneur Adam and drug dealer Keith are forced to question their relationships and loyalties, as sinister secrets come to the fore, threatening dangerous consequences. Unsettling and unexpected, this dark tale of lies and manipulation will lead audiences on a voyeuristic and ill-fated journey that, like the four characters, their sensibility may not want to be a part of, but their curiosity certainly will, begging the question: 'How do you weigh trust?'

Bear

Bear (10 minutes, 35 seconds) was Steve McQueen's first major film. Although not an overtly political work, for many viewers it raises sensitive issues about race, homoeroticism and violence. It depicts two naked men – one of whom is the artist – tussling and teasing one another in an encounter which shifts between tenderness and aggression. The film is silent but a series of stares, glances and winks between the protagonists creates an optical language of flirtation and threat.
