''The Betrayer'' is a 1921 Australian-New Zealand film from director Beaumont Smith about an inter-racial romance between a white Australian and a part-Māori girl. It is considered a lost film.〔Ross Cooper,"Filmography: Beaumont Smith", ''Cinema Papers'', March–April 1976 p333〕 ==Plot== Australian Stephen Manners (Cyril Mackay) travels to New Zealand and falls in love with a Māori girl. He goes home and she dies giving birth to their daughter, Iwa. Iwa is raised by her grandfather Hauraki (Mita), who explains to Manners what happens when he returns to New Zealand twenty years later. Manners decides to take Iwa (now played by Stella Southern) back to Sydney, Australia, but doesn't tell her that he is her father. Travelling with Manners is John Barris (John Cosgrove), who Hauraki tells on his deathbed that Iwa's real father actually is a missionary, not Manners. Barris keeps this information to himself and makes advances on Iwa, which are stopped by Manners. Iwa tells Manners she is in love with him, so Manner explains he is her father and she returns to Rotarua. Barris' wife (Bernice Vere) tells Manners the truth so he returns to New Zealand and is reunited with Iwa, this time as a romantic couple. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Betrayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
