Movie Description Two groundbreaking, innovative silent films from legendary director Cecil B. DeMille are collected here. 1917's THE WHISPERING CHORUS used visionary new technical breakthroughs (such as multiple exposures and a DeMille trademark, parallel editing) to tell its emotionally complex story about a criminal with a guilty conscience. The following year, OLD WIVES FOR NEW caused a sensation with its then-taboo subject matter, including divorce, affairs, women's rights, and strongly implied premarital sex.
