All Soul's Eve

All Souls' Eve is a 1921 American silent drama film directed by Chester M. Franklin and starring Mary Miles Minter.

[2] As described in various film magazine reviews,[3][4][5][6] Nora O'Hallahan (Minter) is a young girl living in Ireland, who firmly believes that, on All Souls' Eve, the spirits of the dead return to visit those whom they loved in life.

When she finds that she is unable to lure Roger away from his wife, she convinces Lawson, a madman living in the local woods, that Alice Heath is the one responsible for his misfortunes.

Lawson murders Alice, and Roger, devastated by his wife's death, neglects his work and his son, turning to drink and Olivia for solace.

He asks her to pose for him so that he can complete his masterpiece of sculpture - a statue of Alice - and shuns Olivia and drink as he comes to realise that he loves Nora.
