The Perils of Pauline
The Untold Story of the Life and Loves of the First Great Thrill Star of the Screen!
Funloving Pearl White, working in a garment sweatshop, gets her big chance when she "opens" for a delayed Shakespeare play...with a comic vaudeville performance. Her brief stage career leads her into those "horrible" moving pictures, where she comes to love the chaotic world of silent movies, becoming queen of the serials. But the consequences of movie stardom may be more than her leading man can take
Directed by George Marshall · Written by P.J. Wolfson
