该片为中国最早的长故事片之一，也是但杜宇创办的上海影戏公司的第一部影片。故事写一个名叫福珠的女子，和穷画师周选青相爱，两人订立了婚约，并盟誓如将来负约，当蹈海而死。后来，福珠被有钱的表兄诱惑，竟负前约与表兄结婚。当他们在教堂举行婚礼之时，福珠忽然天良发现，逃离了教堂去找画师，周选青拒绝了她，于是她跑去投海自杀，幸而画师前去相救，最后两人终成佳偶。但杜宇在拍这部片前曾试拍新闻片，从中自学摸索摄影技术，而后同朋友和家人创办上海影戏公司。拍摄影片《海誓》时，为了掌握摄影技术，也曾花费了不少功人，从编导到摄影、洗印，全由他一人担任，影片在上海闸北搭设露天布景，前后拍摄了近一年时间。但杜宇在影片拍摄中追求形式的美，从当时的西方影片中学习摹仿一些手法和技巧，但主要还是以当时流行的文明戏演出原则为结构基础，因此影片在形式上、表演上都带有很重的舞台味。另外，影片的内容以及场景设计等方面。都带有很浓的西方色彩，如人物的服饰、生活方式、布景道具均为西式，而字幕却全部是用文言文写成，这使影片呈现出一种个中不西、杂乱混合的特点。它反映了在中国半封建半殖民地文化的背景下中国早期电影的特点。

Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake 1965 16mm film 90minsThis was the first attempt to cinematize the works of Irish author James Joyce. Based more on a stage adaptation by Mary Manning than the Joyce novel itself, the film concentrates on Dublin pubkeeper Finnegan (Martin J. Kelly), who while in the throes of inebriation has a vision of his own death. As the bemused Finnegan lies in his coffin, his friends gather for his wake. The "corpse" tries to cut through the keening and platitudes by probing the innermost thoughts of those closest to him. The surprising aspect of this film is that so much of its difficult text works on screen--a tribute to the loving care of scripter/director/ editor Mary Ellen Bute, who, while preparing this film spent her waking hours picking the brains and burrowing through the resource materials of the James Joyce Society.Although director Mary Ellen Bute’s highly regarded Finnegans Wake (aka Passages from Finnegans Wake) is a unique film that is likely to baffle anyone unfamiliar with James Joyce, it cannot be dismissed merely as a literary exercise. The director was right in claiming that her film was “not a translation of the book but a reaction to it”. It is actually based on a stage play by Mary Manning, who was also responsible for the screenplay. Joyce’s elliptical rhetoric and intricate punning, which might be considered a formidable barrier to the filming of this most opaque of his works, proved to be an attraction to Bute, whose enthusiasm for the ‘visual’ and ‘kinetic’ quality of his language led her to the surprising but well-judged move of running subtitles from the original text to support the dialogue.Visual music pioneer Mary Ellen Bute's final film was also her first feature film. James Joyce's classic story of Irish tavern-keeper who dreams of attending his own wake is brought to the screen with a sparkling energy which highlights its maker's career-long exploration of kinetic abstract animation. Perhaps best described as a 'film poem,' Passages from Finnegans Wake was the first attempt to 'cinematize' the works of James Joyce, featuring the author's highly original language spoken by characters and presented as text on screen.
