Cinematography gem among the LOST films., 3 April 2000
Author: Arne Andersen (aandersen@landmarkcollege.org) from Putney, VT

THE DEVIL DANCER was highly praised at time of release for its exquisite cinematography, especially in the use of light and shadow. The film received an Academy Award nomination in this category. Sadly, it is among the lost. No prints or negatives are known to survive.
