This is a LaserDisc edition of the classic teens silent film drama, BROKEN BLOSSOMS, released in 1919 by United Artists and directed by D.W. Griffith. Based upon the story, "The Chink and the Child," by Thomas Burke, a frail waif (Lillian Gish), abused by her brutal boxer father (Donald Crisp) in London's seedy Limehouse District, is befriended by a sensitive Chinese immigrant (Richard Barthelmess) with tragic consequences.
This is a LaserDisc edition from Republic Pictures Home Video, with a run-time of 76 mins. It is in glorious black-and-white with color tints. The double-sided LaserDisc itself is in perfect "Like New" condition and the outer cardboard sleeve has a few small creases on the bottom corners, which did not affect the disc itself.
