Curiosidades
La marca del fuego (1915) was re-issued by Paramount on November 24, 1918, at which time the character played by Sessue Hayakawa was called Burmese and renamed Haka Arakau. The change of the character's name and nationality were done because Japan was an American ally at the time (during World War I) and the fact not as many Burmese are likely to protest. After the original release, a Japanese newspaper in Los Angeles, Rafu Shimpo, and the Japanese Association of Southern California waged a campaign against the film and heavily criticized Sessue Hayakawa's appearance, calling it "sinister."

Pifias
According to the date on the check, the shooting occurred on September 17th. However, the next day's newspaper which reports the crime is dated April 27th.

Citas

Positive Female Character ?

What is the message that DeMille id giving to his 1915 audience? Is there a positive female character in the film? And who exactly is the cheat? Hayakawa is said to be the Cheat by many critics but I disagree.

Is it not Edith who cheats on her husband by lying and stealing? Is it not Edith who agrees to become a "whore" by paying off her stolen debts and then backs out on the deal? Who is Edith representing in 1915?

By the end of the movie, Edith is forgiven by the courts, he husband, and society just as long as she stays as the "little girl" who can't act for herself. The Cheat is beautifully filmed, don't get me wrong. But the overall message toward women in this film is down right wrong!
