About The Candle and the Moth
Young hothead Billy, quick to speak and drifting into a life of crime, has many encounters the community's lay preacher, John Redmond. Billy's conscience stirs as Redmond recounts his life's story. Holger-Madsen supplied three different endings for the film's various releases.
Directed by Holger-Madsen, The Candle and the Moth leans on a strong ensemble — Valdemar Psilander, Philip Bech, Augusta Blad — 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 drama titles of 1915.
