Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Scar of Shame is a 1927 Melodrama film directed by David Perugini, featuring an all-Black cast.Alvin Hillyard is a highly-educated, upper-class black man, who is a talented composer. He rescues Louise, an attractive but lower-class woman, from the clutches of her abusive stepfather Spike. Eddie, a scheming petty crook and bootlegger, also covets the lovely Louise. Alvin and Louise get married, but Alvin has doubts about the relationship and does not tell his wealthy parents about his new wife. Eddie observes this and concocts a scheme to lure Louise away from Alvin—one that has tragic consequences.The Scar of Shame, produced by the Colored Players Film Corporation, is an early example of a "Race Film", a movie made with a black cast aimed at black audiences. Compare Within Our Gates, another silent "race film" made a few years before.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Author Tract: The film isn't subtle about its message, regarding the black community improving itself. Like when this bit of dialogue is put into Alvin's mouth via title card: | |

The Alcoholic: Spike is a raging drunk who feeds his addiction with Eddie's bootleg liquor. When a temporarily sober Spike expresses some reluctance about luring Louise away from her husband, Eddie dangles a flask in front of him, and this is all it takes. | |
