One Touch of Nature (1909)
Directed by D.W. Griffith
Overview
“A pathetic story of mother’s grief. No more intense emotion can be imagined than a mother’s grief for her dead child. and this Biograph subject beautifully portrays a story of maternal bereavement. It also shows the seemingly cruel workings of fate in taking from the earth the happy, well-cared for child while leaving the poor, ragged orphan to be starved and beaten by a couple of merciless wretches, into whose hands she has fallen.”—Moving Picture World, Vol. 4, No. 1 (January 2nd, 1909).
