I just realized I oppose immigration.  Thus it must be the progressive line.

I may have to check out this eugenics film, but I bet it's just stupid racism.  Most eugenicists just used it to place the patina of science upon baseless bigotry.

It's a lot more subtle than that.  At first glance it looks like an anti-abortion film, but it's not.

Weber was a great director.  (Even Cecil B. Demille, who was by no stretch of the imagination a feminist or generous with praise of anyone but himself called her that.)  She could put together every detail of a scene, like von Stroheim, and consistently got great performances out of her actors, like James Whale.  Unfortunately she could never not adopt a moralizing tone; so her films come across as polemics.
