A Throw of Dice
Directed by Franz Osten
A silent-era melodrama of royal rivalry, loaded dice, and romantic entanglement, where duplicity and compulsion drive a tale of moral contrast between a good and wicked king.
Two neighboring kings addicted to gambling, Ranjit and his cousin Sohat, vie for the same beautiful young woman, Sunita, daughter of the hermit Kanwa.
