About the movie


Wynne Mortimer, a pampered society girl and daughter of William Mortimer, a prominent business man, chances to meet David White, a young artist whose fame is already assured, at an art exhibit. Despite the fact that she is engaged to marry Hugh Gordon, the junior partner of her father, she falls in love with the artist. He invites the girl and her father to visit his studio and the invitation is accepted. Renee, a model, has been in love with David White for years and he has seemingly reciprocated her love. When Wynne Mortimer appears on the scene, however, he forgets all thoughts of love for Renee. The model is quick to realize the change in her lover. Secretly, she has been a user of cocaine. To forget the heartache the growing attachment between her lover and Wynne causes her, she turns to the cocaine. Wynne, led on by her interest in the artist and his insistence that she is the only one who can justly typify the spirit of a new picture at which he is at work, goes to the studio and poses for him. Hugh Gordon follows her and after a violent scene with the painter takes Wynne to her father, who upbraids her and forbids her to again see the painter. David is dejected at the loss of Wynne and finally takes to using cocaine. Before he has become a complete victim to the habit, however, Wynne dares her father's vengeance and returns to the studio. She and David finally run away and are married. In his anger Wynne's father turns her from home. David rapidly becomes an habitual user of cocaine and Wynne is forced to return to her home. Renee, heartbroken at the evil she has done by really being responsible for the drug habit acquired by David, tries to reform him. It is not until David hears his wife, however, declare that she will stick to him as long as he has need of someone to look after him, and he finally manages to throw off the habit he has acquired. He is determined to free his wife of whatever obligation she may feel binds her to him. Her loyalty to her husband leads Wynne to seek him. Her search takes her into an evil part of the city and she is attacked by a thug. David, who has returned to the city, however, learns that his wife is seeking him and goes to find her. He arrives just in time to rescue her from the den into which she has been carried. When husband and wife are reunited after the horrors through which they have passed the year past, they find that their love has grown stronger and eventually they find happiness.

Customer photo review of Soul (2020) - Premium Movie Poster

Not one negative word comes to mind. No problems, no mistakes, nothing bad at all. Came exactly when it said, it was exactly what I ordered, and exactly what I wanted.

Customer photo review of Room (2016) - Premium Movie Poster

I was really pleased with the quality of the poster. I had never ordered a product from Etsy and was not expecting the customer service to be this efficient. I forgot to add my house number to the address and it was immediately resolved by the incredible customer arrived. Furthermore, my package was lost in pre transit and was immediately sorted and got sent to my house just 24 hours later. I’m incredibly happy with my lost highway poster and couldn’t recommend this company enough! 10/10

Excellent poster - I've purchased from a few different poster vendors on Etsy, and this is by far the best print quality weve received. Will absolutely buy from this vendor again.

Customer photo review of The Matrix(1999) - Film Poster Wall Art - Premium Movie Poster

Perfect! Love this poster I’m so happy to have it in my room on display. Only “complaint” is that because it’s an older film, there is some grain in the print itself. That’s no fault of the seller of course it’s just how the print is. But just a heads up for anyone interested in this. Poster was packed securely and well. Very happy with it! Will order again if I have any other posters I’m after.
