The Abyss (Danish: Afgrunden), also known as Woman Always Pays, is a 1910 Danish silent black-and-white drama film, written and directed by Urban Gad. The lead performance and natural acting by Asta Nielsen led to her international stardom. Because of the overt eroticism of Nielsen's performance, the film was censored in Norway and Sweden.

Thank you for the film.The regret is that there is no restoring version of the film ( maybe there is ) for such a huge mondial success at that time of the beginning cinema

It is true that this is the only restored version. I think that a fire damaged the other copies.
