    <reviewbody>This movie is also available on this same site on an earlier page.  There are a lot of repeats as the page numbers go up. It would be great if the administrator of this web site would clean out the duplicates.  Anyway, this movie is worth 5 stars.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>Lillian Gish's performance will break your heart!  The lead characters are exquisitely fragile, just like flower stems, and beautifully realized.  The film gets off to an oh-so-slightly slow start in China, but once the scene shifts to America, you'll be hooked.  The closet scene is really harrowing, even by today's standards.  Favorite moment: Lucy's reaction when Cheng Huan gives the abused girl her first doll.  The print is in surprisingly good shape.  "Broken Blossoms" is as fine as, or better than, a lot of films being produced today.</reviewbody>
