High Treason

Screening on Film

Directed by Maurice Elvey.
With Jameson Thomas, Humberston Wright, Benita Hume.
UK, 1928, 35mm, black & white, silent, 75 min.

It's 1940—the future—and war threatens between the newly united Europe and the Atlantic States. Following a nasty border dispute, both sides prepare for an inevitable confrontation, until a group of female workers organizes as the Peace League to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War. An odd instance of pacifist propaganda, Elvey's film was originally filmed as a sound film but released in a silent version to accommodate theaters not yet ready for the new technology.
