The Devil Dancer

Two men fought for the Devil Dancer. One to hold what he had bought- the other to win the love he sought.

An English explorer disturbed by the practices of an isolated tribe attempts to rescue a native girl he has become fascinated with. THE DEVIL DANCER was highly praised at time of release for its exquisite cinematography, especially in the use of light and shadow. The film received an Academy Award nomination in this category. Sadly, it is among the lost. No prints or negatives are known to survive.

Directed by Fred Niblo
