The Flame (German: Die Flamme) is a 1923 German silent drama film directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Pola Negri, Hermann Thimig, and Alfred Abel. The film is based on a play by Hans Müller. In the United States it was released under the alternative title Montmartre. It was the last film Lubitsch made in Germany before emigrating to Hollywood where he directed his first American film Rosita for United Artists the same year.
Plot
As described in a film magazine review for the English subtitled version,[2] Yvette's landlady insists that her lodger pay up the money she owes. The young woman goes out in quest of funds. Papa Lemonier is about to "come across" with the desired cash, when a man who has been pursuing her interferes and trouble starts. Yvette runs away and makes the acquaintance of a youthful composer named Andre Leduc. They fall in love and are married. Raoul Fournier, a rejected suitor, tries to spoil Yvette's domestic happiness by exposing her past to her husband. He almost succeeds, but is defeated in the long run.
