*"The film represents a generational change of leading male actors for DW Griffith, from Robert Harron (The Battle of Elderbush Gulch, Birth of a Nation and as the male character with the most screen time in Intolerance) to Richard Barthelmess (Broken Blossoms). Harron had a supporting role to Barthelmess' lead in Griffith's Way Down East, after co-staring with him in The Girl Who Stayed at Home.  One of the final films of Robert Harron, one of D.W. Griffith's favorite actors. Harron died of an accidental gunshot wound a few months after the release of The Girl Who Stayed at Home, at age 27.
 
Story of two brothers who go off to France to fight in World War I, the women who love them and an American expatriate living in France who rallies behind his former country."
