The Wind
A frail young woman from the East moves in with her cousin in the West, where she causes tension within the family and is slowly driven mad. Innocent, naive Letty Mason moves from her Virginia home to Sweet Water on the western prairies to live on the ranch of her cousin Beverly, his wife Cora, and their three children. Letty quickly learns how inhospitable the environment in Sweet Water is, the most obvious item being the incessant wind. But equally inhospitable are the unrefined way the people in Sweet Water live, to which she is unaccustomed, and Cora, who believes Letty has come to steal Beverly from her. As such, Cora orders Letty out of her and Bev's house. With no money, Letty is forced to accept one of the marriage proposals she receives--from Bev and Cora's ranching neighbor Lige Hightower, whom she doesn't love. Despite a less-than-harmonious start, partly due to Letty's isolation as the wind too often forces her to stay inside, she starts to feel affection for Lige, who wants to do right by her and promises to send her back to Virginia when he is financially able. But a visitor who takes refuge in their house away from the wind threatens Letty's ultimate happiness. —Huggo When Letty Mason (Lillian Gish), an emotionally fragile woman from Virginia, relocates to West Texas, she finds herself unsettled by the ever-present wind and sand. Arriving at her new home at the ranch of her cousin (Edward Earle), she receives a surprisingly cold welcome from his wife (Dorothy Cumming). Soon tensions in the family and unwanted attention from a trio of suitors, including neighbor Lige Hightower (Lars Hanson), leave Letty increasingly disturbed, resulting in tragedy. —FilmsNow Letty moves to West Texas from the East and it seems that the wind always blows and the sand gets everywhere. While living with relatives, she finds that she is not welcomed by the wife. With nowhere to go, she marries a man who disgusts her. Her new home is a small shack with the wind and the sand constant companions. When it is necessary for most of the men to go out into the sand storm, one stays back to have his way with Letty, which costs both of them. —Tony Fontana <tony.fontana@spacebbs.com>
