Synopsis

"Directed by Anthony Asquith (better known for The Browning Version and The Way to the Stars) A Cottage on Dartmoor is an embroiled melodrama, a tale of love and revenge, set on the bleak landscape of Dartmoor. In a small-town hairdressing salon, a young barber, Joe (Uno Henning) is trying to court Sally, the beautiful manicurist (Nora Baring) and asks her out. She rejects him in favour of the security offered by an older, wealthier farmer. In a jealous rage Joe slashes the farmer with a razor and is sent to Dartmoor prison for attempted murder. He escapes over the moors to find Sally, who does not know if he has come to kill her or ask her forgiveness, and it's at this point that the film begins. The rest of the story is told in flashback.

    Powerful and moving

    A Cottage on Dartmoor is powerful and moving. Because this is a silent film, it is beautifully shot with a lot of emphasis on its attention to detail. The story is haunting, tense and chilling. Excellent stuff.

    A beautifully shot silent film telling the story of an escape from Dartmoor prison. There is a particularly powerful scene in a barber shot involving razor blades and a tender loving touch, I will give no more away because you should really see this movie.
