Love's Blindness is a 1926 American silent drama film directed by John Francis Dillon. The film stars Pauline Starke, Antonio Moreno, and Lilyan Tashman. Written by Elinor Glyn, the film was produced under the direct supervision of the author.[2]
In Great Britain, Hubert Culverdale (Antonio Moreno) is the hard-up and hard-to-please milord who marries luscious Vanessa Levy (Pauline Starke) for financial reasons only.
While author Glyn, in agreeing to supervise the production of Love's Blindness, received $50,000 as an advance against her 33 percent share of the profits, the film did not turn a profit.
Love's Blindness is considered to be a lost film with just a fragment surviving at the BFI National Archive in London.[3] [4]
