The Usurer's Grip

4.5 15 mins 1912
Thomas A. Edison, Inc.  
Director(s): Charles Brabin

Here with the Edison Company -- most notably Charles Ogle as the usurer -- we see a 'typical' case of the victims of usury. Although offered as a 'realistic' view of the effects of usury, it veers frequently into melodrama.
