The Triumph of Right

The film constructs its drama through stark contrasts: the intimate anguish of the home against the impersonal machinery of the law. It relies on expressive silent-era acting and editing that juxtaposes domestic warmth with the coldness of a jail cell.

What lingers after viewing is a potent sense of bitter injustice and a contemplation on the fate of a good deed in an indifferent system. The concise narrative delivers an emotionally charged moral fable. — MovieFinder Editorial
