The Woman on the Rack
The Woman on the Rack German Die Frau auf der Folter is a 1928 German silent drama film directed by Robert Wiene and starring Lili Damita, Vladimir Gajdarov and Johannes Riemann. It was also known by the alternative title A Scandal in Paris. It was based on a British play by Edward Hemmerde and Francis Neilson. The wife of a British aristocratic politician, who is neglected by her husband, resists an attempt to break them up. When her husband discovers what he mistakenly believes to be a dalliance with another man he begins divorce proceedings. Eventually the truth comes out and the couple reconcile. The film was not considered one of Wienes greatest achievements, but he was praised for directing with his usual competence while Damitas performance as Lady Admaston was hailed.
