About The Grip Movie

Released in 1909, The Grip is a Drama Movie. Direction is by Léon Boedels. Key performances come from Louis Bouwmeester, Ko van Sprinkhuijsen, Mien de la Mar. Jean-Marie Hardouin is an old man who once was notorious because of the iron grip he exerted on his family but now he is lame. He whiles away his days in a chair in the house of his son and daughter-in-law. He has to see how his adulterous daughter-in-law plots to murder her two foster children and her husband. Jean-Marie can't intervene and because he can't talk he can't warn his own family. Misfortune, tragic developments, and a fatal ending dominated many of the early Dutch fiction films.
