Doomsday

Doomsday

Directed by Rowland V. Lee. 60 mins. (1928)

Gary Cooper – Arnold Furze

When a restless farmer’s daughter is drawn into a world of privilege and sophistication, she must choose between the steadfast love of a humble rural life and the seductive promise of wealth and status—placing two very different men, and two futures, in conflict.

Also starring Florence Vidor, Lawrence Grant, and Charles A. Stevenson.

Adapted from Warwick Deeping’s novel Doomsday (1927), the film was praised for Gary Cooper’s early screen presence; The New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall noted his performance as “wonderfully natural,” with an “ingratiating personality.”
