Whirlpool (1934)
Sounds familiar

Warning: Spoilers
A Roy William Neill's movie, with the exception of Sherlock Holmes series, are hard to find, especially the silent ones, mostly lost, unfortunately. This Columbia Pictures film is rare too. But the scheme is very familiar to me, where a father meets his lost daughter twenty years later, after he was separated from her mother, after he was in jail. This scheme has been seen a couple of times before, all in thirties features. I don't remember the titles. And we did not see such topics anymore a decade later. This scheme seemed to be made only in the thirties.

A melodrama mixed up a little with some noir accents.

An interesting gem.
