The Cloven Tongue Synopsis
Nicolai Orloff, a horse dealer, is swayed in the management of all his affairs by his selfish mistress, Glasha. His daughter Sonia, returning from school, discovers the other woman strangely antagonistic toward her, particularly when she meets and falls in love with Prince Alexis. Desiring the prince herself, Glasha prevails upon Orloff to forbid his daughter continuing her romance with him. Later, Glasha disappears and the prince is accused of murdering her. It develops in the end, however, that she was killed by enraged peasant women who objected to the harsh treatment accorded them by Orloff, who they knew was influenced by Glasha.
Katerina Izmailova Synopsis
Katerina murders her husband and her father-in-law. She and her new beau are both sent to Siberia, where the lover almost immediately takes up with a younger woman.
"The Cloven Tongue" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Katerina Izmailova" offers its own unique cult appeal.
