(The) Hypocrites is a 1915 silent film directed by female director Lois Weber. The film is best known for it's religious nature, special effects, and controversy concerning scenes of nudity.
While the film survives in a print held by The Library Of Congress, a few scenes from the beginning of the film suffered greatly from silver nitrate decomposition. About two to three minutes worth of material is now considered non-restorable, albeit still watchable. The Library Of Congress has been putting forth a search for a better looking copy, but for now, their slightly damaged version is all that has survived.
