Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe reviewer in "Moving Picture World" (3/26/1910) felt that "The Converts", "with its masterful presentation, is a strong sermon and vividly reveals the power of religion to reclaim even the most profligate." But reviewer 'Sime' in "Variety" (3/19/1910) gave the film a scathing review, declaring that, " 'The Converts' are perverts". And that "The Board of Censors could have revoked it for two or three reasons, but principally on the religious ground."
Featured review
A strong sermon
A deeply religious picture, depicting in a very dramatic way the power an uttered word may exert, even though spoken by false lips. There is a species of horror induced by this picture because it blasphemes sacred things, more, perhaps, by suggestion than by direct word or act, yet none the less real and none the less repulsive. That one was saved and in turn was the means of extending grace to the blasphemer is the dramatic working out of the story. One feels that it is right for these two souls to come together, as they do eventually, and can but rejoice in the consummation of a story destined to exert a powerful influence upon those who see the film. The story, with its masterful presentation, is a strong sermon and vividly reveals the power of religion to reclaim even the most profligate. - The Moving Picture World, March 26, 1910
