The Wages of Sin (1918 film)

The Wages of Sin is a 1918 British silent drama film directed by Arrigo Bocchi and starring Kenelm Foss, Mary Odette, and Charles Quatermaine. The film's plot revolves around themes of temptation, redemption, and the consequences of immoral actions, typical for the era's melodramatic narratives. The story involves a woman who succumbs to temptation and ultimately faces the negative repercussions of her choices. Although now largely forgotten, it reflects the societal morals and anxieties of post-World War I Britain, often portraying sin as a destructive force leading to personal and social downfall. Surviving copies of the film are scarce, and detailed plot synopses are often limited, relying on contemporary reviews and promotional materials to reconstruct the narrative.
