What happens

Hands Across the Sea in '76 è un cortometraggio muto del 1911 diretto da Lawrence B. McGill qui al suo esordio nella regia. Una parata cronologica degli eventi e delle battaglie della Rivoluzione americana. È il quarto film della carriera di Guy Oliver, un attore che girerà 219 film, ritirandosi nel 1931, poco prima della morte avvenuta nel 1932. La protagonista è Dorothy Gibson, un'attrice conosciuta per le sue doti brillanti. Qui si cimenta in un ruolo drammatico. Pochi mesi dopo, nell'aprile 1912, l'attrice sarà tra i superstiti del naufragio del Titanic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
