Compromise is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Alan Crosland and produced and distributed by Warner Bros. The film was based on the 1923 novel of the same name by Jay Gelzer.
Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine, Joan (Rich), a woman of high ideals, from cliildhood has had to play second fiddle to her selfish, pampered half-sister. Joan expects marriage to bring happiness and it does for a time, but Nathalie (Garon), the sister, true to form, schemes to win Joan's husband Alan (Brook) and succeeds, and, not content with this, arranges a surprise meeting to gloat over her conquest. Symbolic of the conflict between husband, wife and sister, there is a terrific cyclone which brings to Joan a realization of the truth of the theme and she forgives Alan.
