Barbed Wire is a 1927 American silent romance film set in World War I. It stars Pola Negri as a French farmgirl and Clive Brook as the German prisoner of war she falls in love with. The film was based on the novel The Woman of Knockaloe by Hall Caine. Unlike the original novel, set in Isle of Man, the film takes place in Normandy, France. Some plot alterations were made in the adaption, including most importantly the insertion of a happy ending.

Synopsis

En 1914, la vie paisible de la ferme de Moreau est interrompue par la guerre. Son fils André rejoint l'armée, tandis qu'un camp de prisonniers de guerre est créé à la ferme, et sa fille Mona ne ressent que de la haine envers l'Allemagne. Arrivant au camp, les prisonniers allemands ont un regard approbateur avec Mona, mais l'aggravation des nouvelles de la guerre la maintient distante et hostile. Oscar Muller, prisonnier travaillant à la ferme, prouve alors par ses actions qu'il est un homme de bien. Alors que les liens entre Mona et Oscar se renforcent, la désapprobation du voisinage s'amplifie de même ; même avec la fin de la guerre, des conséquences tragiques semblent inévitables.

Young J. Quincy Pennant is a brilliant but absent minded scientist who has come up with an amazing theory. Unlike skip bombing, Pennant is experimenting with detonating explosives where the shock wave can be sent like a stone skipping over distances without hitting immediate targets, but able to destroy targets at a further distance away, even if they are behind walls. He is sent to a "powder town", a rapidly growing city being built around an arsenal and munitions factory where wartime population growth has brought in criminals, enemy spies and saboteurs.

In 1931, China is embroiled in a civil war. Friends of British Captain Donald "Doc" Harvey (Clive Brook) envy him because the fabulously notorious Shanghai Lily (Marlene Dietrich) is a fellow passenger on the express train from Beiping to Shanghai. Since the name means nothing to him, they inform him that she is a "coaster" or "woman who lives by her wits along the China coast" – in other words, a courtesan. On the journey, Harvey encounters Lily, who turns out to be his former lover, Magdalen. Five years earlier, she had played a trick on Harvey to gauge his love for her, but it backfired and he left her. She frankly informs him that, in the interim, "It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily." When Lily makes it clear that she still cares deeply for him, it becomes apparent that his feelings also have not changed, and he shows her the watch she gave him with her photograph still in it.
