Evangeline

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem is vividly brought to life by one of the silver screen's great beauties, Mexican actress Dolores del Rio. In the quiet Acadian village of Grand-Pre, Nova Scotia, lives the beautiful and beloved Evangeline. She is betrothed to Gabriel, but before they can marry, France and England declare war. The Acadians, bound by an allegiance to England but by ties of kinship to France, refuse to take up arms. As a result, they are forcefully deported and Evangeline must set sail for unknown lands, wander in the American wilderness, searching for her lost love. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
