What happens
A Hungry Heart is a 1917 silent film drama directed by Emile Chautard and starring Alice Brady. It was produced and distributed by World Film Corporation. It is sometimes called The Hungry Heart but shouldn't be confused with the Pauline Frederick film of the same year. A Hungry Heart was adapted for the screen by Frances Marion based on a stage play titled Frou-Frou by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halevy, while the Frederick film was based on a 1909 novel called The Hungry Heart.
