Movies that feel like The Right of Youth (1911)
Court huntsman, Søtoft, is courting his daughter Else’s lady-in-waiting, Miss Engelke. That’s why it’s a bit of a punch in the stomach when, late one evening, he discovers his son Ove in close contact with her. Chamberlain von Plessen, who had been gossiping to Søtoft and is himself spying on the young couple, is going to set fire to the room they’re in. The hurt Søtoft wants to leave the young couple to their cruel fate – that is until he discovers that it’s not Engelke, but his daughter Else, who is trapped in the flames with her brother.

If The Right of Youth hit the spot, these will too
Drama built on stillness, twice over
Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases
Sits closer to documentary than The Right of Youth does
Drama approached the same way
The drama is handled with the same confidence
The same drama instincts
Drama of the same temperament
Both are drama through and through
Both working the same drama territory
Drama in the same key
Both know what they want from drama
Both play drama straight
