Quite a mix from Griffith but the fact remains intact that such great stories could only be made in that era. Relatable even after 100 years.

Beautiful cinematography, decent acting, weak story

A man murders his wife&apos;s lovers, escapes with his daughter to the South Pacific. A detective pursues him, joined by a young man who eventually falls in love with the daughter.

The Love Flower

Lost in Florida

D.W. Griffith&apos;s two South Seas dramas made in Florida, which includes this film, &quot;The Love Flower&quot; and &quot;The Idol Dancer&quot;, are two of his worst that I&apos;ve seen. One can sense Griffith&apos;s lack of interest and inspiration. Probably the only thing worth noting about &quot;The Love Flower&quot; is that it features some underwater photography. Otherwise, the narrative--based on a magazine story and involving a relentless detective after our protagonist fugitives--is forgettable. Carol Dempster can&apos;t act. And, most of all, the care and energy behind Griffith&apos;s better work is missing here. It&apos;d return in &quot;Way Down East&quot;, as would Lillian Gish. &quot;The Idol Dancer&quot; and &quot;The Love Flower&quot; are merely slipshod productions Griffith rushed through to help relieve his increasing financial difficulties.
