About Temptations of a Great City
Mrs. Hellertz is distraught about her son Aage, who – in spite of a good pay and generous support from home – manages to spend every penny on debauchery in the night life. He indebts himself deeply and falls into the clutches of a malicious loan shark who is out for Mrs. Hellertz's fortune. To complicate things further, Aage starts a relationship with the loan shark's beautiful daughter. (Stumfilm.dk)
Directed by August Blom, Temptations of a Great City leans on a strong ensemble — Valdemar Psilander, Clara Pontoppidan, 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 1911.
