Shark Monroe

1918. USA. Directed by William S. Hart. 1918. USA. Directed by William S. Hart. Screenplay by C. Gardner Sullivan. With Hart, Katherine MacDonald, Joseph Singleton, George A. McDaniel. William S. Hart’s combination of Western action and romantic drama made him one of the biggest stars of the 1910s and early 1920s. In this 1918 film, newly restored by MoMA, Hart is a ship's captain in the Pacific Northwest who abandons his post to pursue a woman who does not love him (MacDonald) across the Klondike, eventually rescuing her from the grip of a white slaver. Hart’s direction emphasizes the stone-faced suffering his fans treasured; the cinematographer Joseph H. August, later known for his long collaboration with John Ford, contributes some striking night sequences. Preserved by The Museum of Modern Art with support from the Celeste Bartos Fund for Film Preservation and Barbara Wertz. Silent. 60 min.
