About The Road to Yesterday
Malena's apparent frigidity toward her husband Kenneth is a result of injustice done in an earlier incarnation when he was a knight and she was a gypsy headed for burning at the stake. This becomes evident when their unconscious minds travel back from a train wreck in the American plains to Elizabethan England.
Directed by Cecil B. DeMille, The Road to Yesterday leans on a strong ensemble — Joseph Schildkraut, Jetta Goudal, William Boyd — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1925.
