Evidence (1929) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 1929, Evidence is a drame and romance film directed by John G. Adolfi, running about 70 minutes. “In another man's room- lured by a scoundrel- found by her husband!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Lord Cyril Wimborne, a barrister, divorces his wife, Myra, and takes custody of their child, Kenyon, when he finds her name linked with the profligate Major Pollock. Myra goes into seclusion while Pollock, intending to conceal Myra's innocence, goes to Burma. A few years later Myra sees Kenyon in the park with Mrs. Debenham, a widow with designs on Wimborne. Noting the resemblance between the lady in the park (whom he calls his "princess") and a photograph of his mother, Kenyon invites Myra to dinner at a time when his father, who has curtailed the visits to the park, plans to be away. At the same time Harold Courtenay, an old family friend, sees an opportunity to reunite the estranged couple.

Who’s in it. Evidence stars Pauline Frederick as Myra Stanhope, William Courtenay as Cyril Wimborne, Conway Tearle as Harold Courtenay and Lowell Sherman as Norman Pollock, among others.
