What happens

Lochinvar è un cortometraggio muto del 1909 diretto da J. Searle Dawley. Si ispira a Marmion, il poema di Walter Scott pubblicato nel 1808 che descrive la battaglia di Flodden Field. Il film segna il debutto cinematografico per Harold M. Shaw che avrebbe in seguito intrapreso la carriera di regista. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
