Movie Summary: A married farmer falls under the spell of a slatternly woman from the city, who tries to convince him to drown his wife.
Queer Film LA Says: Gay director F.W. Murnau, who directed Nosferatu at home in Germany, fled to Hollywood in 1926, where he filmed this now-classic silent film, which cleaned up at the first ever Oscars.
