Plot Summary : Mixed messages abound in The Cheat, in which a
society woman (Fannie Ward) allows a wealthy
Burmese trader (Sessue Haykawa) to settle a debt
for her, not realizing that in exchange he intends
to brand her flesh as his own. Highly influential
for its dramatic low-key lighting and its frank
depiction of extra-marital intrigue, The Cheat
tapped into a vein of post-Victorian female
masochism, eroticism and Orientalism of the day,
exploring the taboo desire to be forcefully
seduced and possessed by a man of another
as in Rudolph Valentino's Sheik films several
years later).

RIPPER NOTES:
This movie is a so-called silent. For Wedding Planner
and The Mummy (Returns) fans: we did not - I repeat,
not - add the wrong audio track. What you hear is an
audio track directed by Robert Israel.
We restored the original framerate of the movie, which
appeared to be 18 fps (based on the source). Enjoy ;-)
GROUP NOTES:
