About The Pointing Finger
Mary Murphy, the oldest waif in an orphanage, steals a dress and three dollars, then escapes to the city. Grosset, the superintendent of the institution, steals $10,000 on the same night, and Mary is suspected of the theft.
Directed by Edward Morrissey, The Pointing Finger leans on a strong ensemble — Mary MacLaren, David Butler, John Cook — 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 screen titles of 1919.
