A Flash of Light review

Somehow, a studious chemist ends up married to a party-loving society dame, which would be enough to doom their marriage even if he wasn't blinded and deafened by one of his experiments. Fortunately, his sister-in-law is around to comfort him. Griffith's customary melodramatic twists and turns are rendered even more far-fetched by the broad, polarised characterisations of its leads.
