The Child Thou Gavest Me (1921)

Directed by John M. Stahl

“The drama of a faithful wife; yet a secret mother told with true artistry and crowned with a climax of vibrant power.”

Drama · 1h 12m

On her wedding day, Norma Huntley wants to tell Edward Berkley, her husband-to-be, her secret -- that she mothered a child out of wedlock which subsequently died. Her mother forbids her to reveal this. Only moments after the ceremony, it is discovered that the child, now three, is actually alive. Berkley, incensed at this turn of events, agrees to adopt the child and remain married for appearance's sake -- but when he finds the father, he will kill him.
