The Sorrows of Satan (film)
''The Sorrows of Satan'' (1926) is a silent film by D. W. Griffith based on the novel ''The Sorrows of Satan'' by Marie Corelli. At this point in his career Griffith had given up his independent filmmaker status by joining Paramount Pictures.
A previous version of Corelli's story had been filmed in England during World War I.〔( ''the Sorrows of Satan'' 1917 directed by Alexander Butler; silentera database )〕〔(''The Sorrows of Satan'' 1926 D.W. Griffith; silentera database )〕 Reportedly Griffith did not want to do this project, but as his first Paramount assignment he was not given a choice. Remarkably, however, the film turned out to be one of Griffith's most fully realized works and its critical stock has risen considerably in the last several decades. This was Carol Dempster's final screen role.
==Plot==
Adolphe Menjou stars as Prince Lucio de Rimanez, who is in fact really Satan assuming a human form. When struggling writer Geoffrey Tempest (Ricardo Cortez) is moved to curse God for his misfortunes, Prince Lucio makes a sudden appearance, informing Tempest that he has inherited a fortune. The only proviso is that Tempest must place his fate entirely in the Prince's hands. As he ascends to the uppermost rungs of European society, Tempest is ordered by Lucio to marry Russian Princess Olga (Lya De Putti), even though the writer still loves his sweetheart Mavis Claire. Eventually, Prince Lucio reveals his true identity, but not before Olga has committed suicide. After rejecting the devil and all his false promises, Tempest lives happily ever after with Mavis.
