Here's another new release from http://www.reelclassicdvd.com!
HUMAN HEARTS starring House Peters, Russell Simpson, Gertrude Claire, Edith Hallor and Mary Philbin . Directed by King Baggot. The quiet life of the village blacksmith is turned upside down when a scheming woman from the city weds him with the plan to steal his inheritance, his young brother suffers an accident that leaves him with the mind of a child and his father is murdered. On one hand a light, picturesque depiction of rural life. On the other, a fast-paced atmospheric melodrama. A terrific, riveting film and a true rarity!
Original music score composed and performed by Stuart Oderman.
