Movies Way Back When: Ashes of Vengeance

By Betsy J. Green

This movie starring Norma Talmadge was released on August 6, 1923. Much of the movie was filmed at the first Bellosguardo estate in Montecito. The movie is a historical drama that takes place in the 16th-century – a time when men wore tights and short pants, and women wore fancy dresses – even when it wasn’t Sunday.

Good news – this movie still exists can be viewed here: http://www.franklloydfilms.com/FEATURE_FILMS.html
