Sacred and Profane Love

1921, English. Directed by William Desmond Taylor.

A drama of life's master emotion-its daring, its pain, its ecstasy, its terrible power to drag down, its sacred power to glorify.

Carlotta Peel, who though sheltered from the facts of life by her Victorian aunt has acquired some knowledge from indiscriminate reading, meets Diaz, a celebrated pianist, at a concert and spends the evening with him. Later, in London, she acquires fame as a novelist and is followed to France by married publisher Frank Ispenlove, who commits suicide when she spurns him. In Paris, Carlotta finds Diaz a physical wreck from drinking absinthe and devotes herself to his regeneration.
