DIANAH LA METISSE (1932):

Shades of Othello loom in this engrossing exploration of class, race, and murder set aboard an ocean liner: Young Dainah encounters an engineer on board who mistakes pleasantries for flirtation. When she disappears the next day, suspicion spreads not only to the engineer, but also to Dainah's husband. The film was originally ninety minutes in length, but was deemed "unpresentable" (code for "offensive to public morality") and cut down to a little less than fifty minutes. The balance of the film has not been discovered.
