What happens

Virginius è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 sceneggiato, diretto e interpretato da Hal Reid. Il soggetto è tratto dal lavoro teatrale del commediografo irlandese James Sheridan Knowles (1784-1862) che era stato adattato per lo schermo già nel 1909 con un Virginius diretto da J. Stuart Blackton e interpretato da Maurice Costello. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
