"The Greatest Question" is a simple melodrama which includes all the elements for a suspenseful motion picture, and is played by a very experienced cast of DW Griffth players, who do their best to make this film unique. What sets it apart from others of its ilk is its constant illusions to biblical themes of love, faith, prayer, and forgiveness.
Lillian is great as always as an innocent girl who is taken advantage of by the evil neighbors of a family who take her in after her mother dies. The family hits upon hard times and the girl is hired out as a servant to them, with terrifying consequences. Robert Harron is so handsome and wholesome as the young lad she falls in love with. It's always a delight to see Lillian and Bobby together on film. Fans of the two won't be disappointed.
I give the film a 9 out of 10. The print I saw had lots of artifacts but was still watchable and the camera work of Billy Blitzer, Griffith's cinematographer, was very poetic and pretty here.
