A very good reworking of an early Griffith short
This story is a slight reworking of an early D. W. Griffith short, THE UNCHANGING SEA. While both films are short, this remake is significantly longer and allows for a much fuller and more interesting tale. It's interesting that the movie is broken into two sections here on IMDb, as I saw them both together as one 33-minute film.
A man goes to sea and is shipwrecked--leaving his wife to raise their two small kids. Many years pass and she holds out hope that he'll return. Again and again through the years, a friend offers to marry her. Only after her kids have grown does she agree. A short time later, the husband is rescued and returns! How exactly this is handled, you'll have to see for yourself.
Part I concerns the marriage, his going to sea and the shipwreck. Part II concerns life after this up until his return.
