Sunrise

DramaRomance94 min

A married farmer is drawn to a woman from the city who urges him to kill his wife and leave his rural life behind. George O'Brien is the husband, shaken by desire and guilt, while Janet Gaynor's wife faces a marriage turned suddenly dangerous. The 1927 film tells the story without spoken dialogue, using silent-era imagery and a synchronized score to move from shadowed marshes and a stormy lake to the bright churn of the city.
