Film restorationist Joe Harvat has been working diligently on restoring The Eternal Struggle, a 1923 silent drama starring Renée Adorée as a fugitive caught in a love triangle with the two Northwest Mounted Police officers (Pat O’Malley and Earle Williams) pursuing her. 

Barbara appears in the film as temptress-turned-murderess Camille Lenoir, a supporting part that was enlarged after she agreed to play it.  Despite her relatively minor role, Barbara made an impression when the film hit theaters.  Movie Weekly declared that “no picture requiring a dark-eyed adventuress is complete these days without Barbara La Marr.”
