Broken Blossoms (1919)



Broken Blossoms is a 1919 film directed by D. W. Griffith and starring Lillian Gish, Richard Barthelmess and Donald Crisp. The film paints an intimate portrait of Cheng Huan (Barthelmess), a kind hearted Chinese man, and his love for a poor abused girl named Lucy Burrows (Gish).



Contrasting with Intolerance?s grand story, set and length, Griffith charmed audiences by the delicacy with which Broken Blossom?s handled such a complex subject.



In 1996, Broken Blossoms was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
