Sacred and Profane Love (1921)

Directed by William Desmond Taylor

“A drama of life's master emotion-its daring, its pain, its ecstasy, its terrible power to drag down, its sacred power to glorify.”

Drama, Romance · 1h 00m

Carlotta Peel, who though sheltered from the facts of life by her Victorian aunt has acquired some knowledge from indiscriminate reading, meets Diaz, a celebrated pianist, at a concert and spends the evening with him. Later, in London, she acquires fame as a novelist and is followed to France by married publisher Frank Ispenlove, who commits suicide when she spurns him. In Paris, Carlotta finds Diaz a physical wreck from drinking absinthe and devotes herself to his regeneration.
