Triumph (1917 film)


Triumph is a 1917 American silent drama film directed by Joe De Grasse, starring Lon Chaney and released by Universal Pictures. Only three of the five reels of this film survive.

Cast

Like many American films of the time, Triumph was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required cuts in Reel 3 of intertitles "What did you pay him" and "I or your haven't paid him yet, you will;" in Reel 4 intertitles "Its not done in these days, you pay for what you get" and "Your triumph or Paul Neihoff's," all scenes between man and girl where she seems to assent to his propositions, and scene showing the stabbing of the man; and in Reel 5 the scene of the suicide of the man and girl.

Preservation

The three surviving reels of Triumph were restored by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
