Reviews

“Hector Turnbull has written a good strong story, and the picture was staged in the usual DeMille manner, with the right kind of settings and exceedingly beautiful photographic and lighting effects.”

– The New York Dramatic Mirror, April 29, 1916

Artist Comment

“The Heart of Nora Flynn was praised particularly for its lighting effects. ‘An automobile charging along a dark street, with only the lights and the reflection of the street lamps on the pavement visible’ seems commonplace now, but it was deemed worthy of special mention in The Motion Picture News at the time.”

– Cecil B. DeMille, Autobiography
