'Way Down East' (1920), a silent film directed by D.W. Griffith and starring Lillian Gish, is the best known of four film adaptations of the melodramatic 19th century play Way Down East, written by Lottie Blair Parker. There were two earlier silent versions, and one sound version in 1935, starring Henry Fonda. Griffith's version is particularly remembered for its exciting climax in which Lillian Gish's character is rescued from doom on an icy river.
