Wallace Reid and 2 more Rated: NR

Description Joan the Woman (Cardinal Film Corporation, 1916) was Cecil B.

DeMille's first great spectacle.

In keeping with theatrical tradition, DeMille sought a more formal and stylized mode of acting from stars Geraldine Farrar and Wallace Reid - a technique he continued in his late historical films.

Wilfred Buckland's art direction is outstanding, and DeMille's social comments are subtle but biting.
