Directed by Henry King
A mill-town girl marries up, cannot pass, and gives her daughter away to the class she cannot join, and the last shot is a woman outside in the rain watching the wedding through a window and deciding not to knock. That is the weepie's founding image. Belle Bennett is Stella, with Ronald Colman and Lois Moran as the daughter. Henry King for Goldwyn, 1925, from Olive Higgins Prouty, one hundred and ten minutes.
