In Balinese villages, pageant, dance, music, story-telling, and religion dominate the culture. Young women may be the aggressor in love, but disgrace befalls her whose choice rejects her. Poutou, a nubile maiden who dances at the temple, lives with her jovial father and lovely younger sister, Saplak. Poutou falls in love with Nyong, a musician new to the village. He returns her interest, so her father and she make plans for a marriage, and she arranges to perform her final temple dance. Then Nyong's eyes light on Saplak. How will each character react? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

Kliou the Tiger (1936) Also Directed by Henri de la Falaise
Legong: Dance of the Virgins (1935) is not the last Hollywood film produced in two-strip Technicolor and silent. That distinction goes to the next film directed by Henri de la Falaise, Kliou the Tiger (1936) which was found in a private collection -- but only in a 16 mm black-and-white print. This B&W print of Kliou the Tiger (also known as Kliou the Killer) has now been restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and added to the Milestone Films DVD of Legong. Director de la Falaise was also well-known for working on Madame Sans-Gene (1925) as Gloria Swanson's interpreter (marrying Swanson in January 1925) and after divorcing Swanson, marrying Constance Bennett, and forming Bennett Productions to produce both Legong and Kliou.
