But this ...See moreThe Count of Castelnuovo (Emilio Ghione) (In Lying Lips: Claude Oldcastle), Emeritus Viveur, loses the last thousands of Lire loaned to him by a loan shark, who reproaches him for not following the advice to marry a rich wife. But this time the Count will put it into action, and courts a young widow, the Countess Della Spina, whom he believes to be very rich. The Countess has a daughter engaged to the Marquis of Montesilveo (Alberto Collo). Everything is going well, when the loan shark warns Castelnuovo that the Countess has nothing on her own, but her luxury rests solely on the usufruct of her daughter's showy assets. Castelnuovo does not lose heart: near defeat he acquires audacity and wickedness: he thinks of blackmailing the relatives of the Countess by circulating the letters she received from woman and to make her relationship public, unless her daughter leaves Montesilveo. The poor mother succeeds with the courage of desperation to take possession of the compromising papers, placing the Count of Castelnuovo in the need to end his life, born and raised in the light of infamy. Written by La Vita Cinematografica, Turin, n. 9, May 15, 1913 See less
