Tempest

Directed by Sam Taylor

With John Barrymore, Camilla Horn, Louis Wolheim, Boris de Fast and George Fawcett

In the final days of Czarist Russia, a peasant is raised from the ranks to Lieutenant. The other officers, aristocrats all, resent him, and make his life difficult. He falls in love with a princess, who spurns him. When he is caught in her room, he is stripped of his rank and thrown into prison. Then comes the Red Terror, and the tables are turned.
