Scarlet Dawn

Lavishly adorned costume epic set during the Russian Revolution has Fairbanks playing a young aristocrat who flees his Russian home with his maid Carroll. The two find themselves in Constantinople, where they marry and settle into a life of common labor. But Fairbanks' aristocratic ways make him discontented with his new life, and when he meets up with the vampish Tashman, he forsakes his humble bride. After attempting to make it as a swindler, he goes back to Carroll just as she is about to be deported to Russia. Plot drags and is uneven in parts, but the great sets of the aristocratic homes, as well as the lowly Turkish ones, are worth a glimpse.
