Enoch Arden: Part II filled in most of the blanks of what I missed from Part I
24 July 2014
One of the extras on the Move Over, Darling DVD was this, Part 2 of Enoch Arden of which-according to the text on the listing of special features-Part 1 was missing. What I saw was compelling enough in depicting a man going on a voyage and ending up on an island alone while his wife waits for him and his kids are growing up. For several years, another man asks for her hand but she refuses most of that time waiting for her husband to come back. If you know the plot of the movie I mention at the beginning of this review, you can probably guess what happens here but since this was more of a drama, the result isn't quite what you might expect. D.W. Griffith does well enough in his direction of his silent version of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem. So on that note, that's a recommendation. Update-The next day after this review: It seems the person who wrote about Part 1 missing was mistaken as I watched the same thing on Internet Archive with the same length. Also, music on the MOD DVD was repetitious so I definitely prefer the score on IA.
