For Those We Love is a 1921 American silent romantic drama film produced by and starring Betty Compson, and featuring Lon Chaney and Richard Rosson.
Written and directed by Arthur Rosson, the film was based on a story by Perley Poore Sheehan (who later co-wrote the script for Chaney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
[7] Beatrice Arnold (Betty Compson) cares for her father George and her younger brother Jimmy (Richard Rosson).
She is saved from drowning by a local card shark named Trix Ulner (Lon Chaney) who decides to pursue her romantically, much to the chagrin of her longtime sweetheart, Johnny Fletcher.
Miss Compson has a corking company supporting her, which includes Lon Chaney and others of equal note, but even they cannot pull the picture through...The direction was draggy and wearisome from beginning to end and it did not move the story forward at all.
