The Evil Eye

The Evil Eye follows Leonard Sheldon, the manager of a Mexican vineyard, as he grapples with a diphtheria epidemic that impacts the local community. When he calls for a doctor, he receives Katherine, which stirs unrest among the villagers who are unaccustomed to a female physician. Their superstitions lead them to misunderstand her forehead-mirror, believing it to be 'the evil eye' responsible for the deaths of their children.

Blanche Sweet stars as Katherine, alongside Tom Forman, Webster Campbell, and other notable cast members. As a drama from the silent film era, The Evil Eye provides a glimpse into societal attitudes and cultural clashes at the time. This film is significant for collectors interested in early cinematic portrayals of gender and medicine, as well as the historical context of silent films.
