The Flame is a 1920 British silent romance film directed by Floyd Martin Thornton and starring Evelyn Boucher, Reginald Fox and Dora De Winton.
As summarized in a film publication,[2] Toni (Boucher) and her brother Fane (Thatcher) were adopted after the death of their father by their Uncle Charles (Cullin), and brought from the slums to the uncle's beautiful home, much to the disgust of the uncle's wife Lady Henrietta (De Winton).
Fane turns out to be a haughty young Englishman while Toni cannot understand the changes in her brother.
He is secretly in love with Toni, but is not free to tell her because of a hastily and unfortunate marriage to an adventuress.
After Robert is compelled to leave for business and Toni hears that she will be sent to the Dutch school, the girl follows Robert to Florence where she remains with the housekeeper of Count de Soulnes.
