About Black Is White
A man's jealousy of his wife ruins their marriage. She leaves, taking a new name and beginning anew. Years later, they meet, but the husband does not know it is she. They marry, with the wife hoping that time has changed her husband for the better.
Directed by Charles Giblyn, Black Is White leans on a strong ensemble — Dorothy Dalton, Holmes Herbert, Jack Crosby — 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 1920.
