A Woman There Was
A Woman There Was is a 1919 American silent South Seas drama film directed by J. Gordon Edwards and starring Theda Bara. The film is based on the short story Creations Tears, by George James Hopkins under the name Neje Hopkins. Bara portrays Zara, the daughter of a South Seas island tribal chief, who falls in love with a missionary and is killed after helping him escape.
A Woman There Was was filmed in Miami Beach, Florida, which at that time was often used as a substitute locale in South Seas films.Compared to her earlier films, A Woman There Was was a commercial flop. Prior Fox films had typecast Bara as a vamp, and the public would not accept Bara in a nonvamp role in films such as A Woman There Was. ........
