Pavement Butterfly
Original title: Großstadtschmetterling
7.0(3)19291h 36mDE
Directed by Richard Eichberg
In this, her second silent film with Eichberg, Wong plays Princess Butterfly, an exotic Parisian fan dancer whose “death leap through a circle of naked swords” act goes tragically wrong. Blamed for the impalement of a fellow performer, she runs away and takes shelter with a handsome but starving painter who she brings luck.
