The Far Cry
The Far Cry (Portuguese title: Um Divorcio Feliz) is a 1926 American silent epic drama film produced and distributed by the First National Pictures. The film was directed by Silvano Balboni, the husband of writer June Mathis, and starred screen veteran Blanche Sweet. It is based on a 1924 Broadway play of the same name by Arthur Richman.
As described in a film magazine review, Claire Marsh gets married and then divorced from Max Fraisier, a French marquis in Paris, which costs her father Julian Marsh a small fortune. Staying in Europe, Claire meets Dick Clayton, an old school chum, who is studying art in Paris. Dick then goes to Paris, and Claire, acting as one of the "we moderns", follows. Because Claire refuses to consider being wed, they live together there without being married. Count Filippo Sturani, another suitor for Claire, makes Dick jealous. They have an argument regarding the Count, and Claire returns to Paris. Dick follows her and rescues her from a blaze that erupts at a gorgeous Roman banquet given in Claire's honor by the Count.
The elaborate Roman banquet near the end of the movie was filmed in Technicolor. The title referred to the difference between the then moral code in Europe and the United States.
The Far Cry is now considered to be a lost film.
