Description
Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''Heart O the Hills'', a silent drama film released in 1919, directed by Joseph De Grasse and starring Mary Pickford. The film is based on the novel of the same name by John Fox Jr. and tells the story of a young girl's journey to find her true identity and confront the prejudices of her community.
In "Heart O' the Hills," Mary Pickford plays Mavis Hawn, a spirited and independent young girl who grows up in the mountains of Kentucky with her grandfather, Pap Hawn, played by Spottiswoode Aitken. When Pap Hawn dies, Mavis is taken in by her aunt and uncle, who mistreat her and view her as inferior because of her mixed-race heritage.
Directed by Joseph De Grasse, "Heart O' the Hills" is praised for its emotional depth, atmospheric cinematography, and Mary Pickford's powerful performance as the resilient and determined Mavis. The film explores themes of identity, prejudice, and resilience as Mavis struggles to find acceptance and belonging in a society that judges her based on her appearance.
While "Heart O' the Hills" may not be as well-known as some of Mary Pickford's other films, it remains a poignant and socially conscious drama that showcases her talent as an actress and producer. The film's exploration of race, class, and identity resonates with audiences today, making it a timeless classic of silent cinema.
