The Livid Flame

The Livid Flame centers on Burkhart, a prominent businessman who engages a young attorney named James McNair to handle his legal affairs. The film explores themes of ambition and the political landscape, typical of early 20th-century dramas.

As a lost film, The Livid Flame is significant in the context of film history. Collectors of silent films and early cinema may find the film's status as a lost work particularly noteworthy. The film features a cast that includes Lafe McKee, Earle Foxe, Adda Gleason, Charles Wheelock, and Philo McCullough, all of whom were prominent figures in the silent film era.

For those interested in the evolution of film and the Selig Polyscope Company’s contributions, The Livid Flame represents an important piece of the early American film landscape.
