About Enlighten Thy Daughter
A remake of the 1917 picture of the same name. Ruth, the offspring of Stevens' hypocritical brother, is neglected by her parents in matters of sex education; as consequence, she trods the primrose path, ending up pregnant, then dead.
Directed by John Varley, Enlighten Thy Daughter leans on a strong ensemble — Herbert Rawlinson, Beth Barton, Charles Eaton — 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 1934.
