The Devious Path (1928) DVD-R
Starring Gustav Diessl, Brigitte Helm, Hertha von Walther, Jack Trevor, Fritz Odemar
Directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst
Print: Black and White
Runtime: 107 min.
Genre: Drama
This G.W. Pabst production was know by many titles, both in Europe (where it was alternately released as Abwege and Begierde) and the U.S. (where it was shipped out as Byways, Crisis and Desire). Brigitte Helm, of Metropolis fame, stars as Irene, the wife of self-absorbed Robert (Gustav Diessl). Feeling neglected, Irene strays from the marital nest, leading to a series of horrendous suppositions and misunderstandings. Critics in 1928 felt that Abwege was far below the standards of Pabst's best-known film Secrets of a Soul. If the film is forgotten today, it is probably because it was followed by the director's masterpiece, Pandora's Box (1929).
