The seduced is a short, German silent film drama from 1913 by Max Obal based on a script by Hanns Heinz Ewers with Paul Wegener in the title role.
action
Max works as a plasterer and is very fond of alcohol. Although he is a family man, he cannot bring himself to abstinence, and the film shows how he gradually deteriorates more and more. In addition, he has a lover who pulls him away from the family, becomes work-shy and ends up in prison. Max's health is soon ruined when his own child saves him from the swamp when it meets its own father on the way to the homeless shelter. For a moment, Max seems to realize that he has to change, but one day when he comes across a bottle of schnapps again, he ends up in a drunkard madness.

criticism
"The action is carried out consistently and tightly and has experienced film players in Grete Berger and Lyda Salmanovna [sic!]."
