The Mysterious X
Directed by Benjamin Christensen
Produced by Dansk Biograf Compagni
A silent-era melodrama of marital betrayal and hidden danger, where a military officer's departure is shadowed by his wife's affair with a sinister schemer.
Not long before marine officer van Hauen goes off to war and heavy-heartedly leaves his family, he coincidentally discovers that his wife has a secret liaison with the dubious Count Spinelli. What the van Hauens do not yet know, is that the sleazy Spinelli has a hidden agenda. (stumfilm.dk)
