The Greatest Thing in Life (1918) watch online HD

Jeannette Peret, daughter of a cigar-store owner, leaves her Greenwich Village home for France in hopes of finding there the love which eludes her at home. She becomes enamored of le Bebe, a giant of a vegetable peddler, but his unsophisticated ways disillusion her. Edward Livingston, a wealthy young man from home who had spurned Jeannette, now turns up and realizes the error of his ways. But he, too, has a great flaw, and only the outbreak of war , ironically, is able to lead Jeannette to a peaceful conclusion to her quest.

Zasu Pitts was originally cast in a supporting role, but D.W. Griffith fired her because he thought she looked too much like the female lead, Lillian Gish. All of her scenes were cut from the final print.

This film featured a then-shocking kiss between a white soldier and a dying black soldier; unfortunately, no copy of the film is known to exist.

A lost film, a print was reported to exist in the film holdings of Cohen Media Group (Raymond Rohauer collection) but this turned out to be a typo.

In 2013, it was believed that this long-lost film was found but it turned out to be a mistaken addition to the listing of Raymond Rohauer's film collection. This is still a lost film.
