Description
"Sadie Thompson" was a late silent film produced by Swanson, based on a short story by Somerset Maugham and a 1923 play.
"The film was thought to have been lost for years. After Swanson's death in 1983, a copy of the film was discovered by her estate. By that time, the final reel had become damaged.
The film was bought by Kino International who hired Dennis Doros to reconstruct the final reel. Doros used the original title sequences, still photos and footage from the 1932 adaptation to restore the footage. A new score by Joseph Turrin was also composed for the film."
James Card, longtime film curator at the George Eastman House, had a long cherished dream to recover the last reel.
