Tigre reale

"Tigre Reale" (1916) was the film that consolidated Menichelli's stardom, a film more than suitable for her performing skills and silent idiosyncrasy that any silent diva would kill to star in... In "Tigre Reale", Menichelli performs the part of Frau Natka, a Russian countess with a troublesome past and an uncertain future. She was married to a revolutionary and the matrimony ended in tragedy. She likes to flirt but due to her traumatic sentimental past she doesn't allow herself attachments. (imdb)
