Stella Maris
Watch TrailerStella Maris is a beautiful, crippled girl, who is cared for by a rich family. They shield her from the harsh realities of the world, so that she has no idea of the cruel things that some people do. Unity Blake is a poor orphan all too familiar with the harsh realities of the real world. These two young women both fall in love with John, love which is complicated by the fact that he is still married to (though separated from) a bad wife.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Mary Pickford in a dual role constructs a powerful contrast between insulated innocence and brutal experience. Director Marshall Neilan relies on visual storytelling to explore themes of social disparity and the fragility of sheltered happiness.
What lingers after the final reel is a poignant question about the nature of true awareness. The film’s emotional resonance transcends its era. — MovieFinder Editorial
