If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listHindle Wakes is a 1918 British silent film drama, directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Colette O'Niel and Hayford Hobbs. It is the first of four screen versions of the celebrated and controversial 1912 play by Stanley Houghton, which was a sensation in its time for its daring assertions that a woman could enjoy a sexual fling just as much as a man, without feeling any guilt or obligation to explain herself, and that she was perfectly capable of making her own life decisions without interference from family or the need to bow to social pressures.
Elvey was reported to be unsatisfied with the way the film turned out and, believing he could do better, directed a remake in 1927, producing what is now regarded as a classic of British silent cinema.
