The Wind
A tornado of human emotions.
Directed by Victor Sjöström
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A psychologically harrowing silent-era drama where an isolated woman's fragile sanity unravels under the relentless assault of wind, desert, and social hostility.
When Letty Mason relocates to West Texas, she finds herself unsettled by the ever-present wind and sand. Arriving at her new home at the ranch of her cousin, Beverly, she receives a surprisingly cold welcome from his wife, Cora. Soon tensions in the family and unwanted attention from a trio of suitors leave Letty increasingly disturbed.
