The Clean Heart

The Clean Heart tells the story of Philip Wriford, a newspaper editor and novelist who succumbs to the pressures of his life. In his quest for peace, he encounters Puddlebox, a philosophical tramp who makes a significant sacrifice for him. With the support of Essie during his recovery, Philip gradually regains his health and happiness.

As a lost film, The Clean Heart holds a unique place in cinematic history. Collectors may find interest in its narrative, which reflects themes of mental health and human connection. The performances by a cast including Percy Marmont, Otis Harlan, and Marguerite De La Motte offer insight into early 20th-century storytelling and character development. Its silent format adds to the historical value for those who appreciate the evolution of cinema.
