Lois Weber was the outstanding female director of her time, in an era when women played a key role in creating American cinema. Often focussing on social issues, The Blot deals with the problem of genteel poverty. To tell with maximum realism this story of a college professor’s family – hardworking but with only a meagre income – Weber filmed in real houses, using a special lighting rig, and gave supporting roles to non-actors.
