Die Flamme
About Die Flamme
Yvette is behind on the rent she owes Madame Vasal and goes out into Paris looking for the money. She meets the young composer Adolphe and marries him. A man she has already refused, and Adolphe's mother, try to break that marriage by dragging up her past. The push comes to a head on the night Adolphe's first symphony is premiered, and the attempt to separate them fails. Pola Negri plays Yvette, Hermann Thimig plays Adolphe, and Alfred Abel plays Gaston.
