How it feels

This is a silent short film from 1912 about a mermaid. It was directed by Lewin Fitzhamon and produced by a British company. The film is now lost because the producer destroyed the original reels to recover silver from the film stock.

What happens

The Mermaid è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da Lewin Fitzhamon. Prodotto dalla casa di produzione britannica Hepworth, è interpretato da Hay Plumb e da Chrissie White nel ruolo della "sirena". Si conoscono pochi dati del film che, prodotto dalla Hepworth, fu distrutto nel 1924 dallo stesso produttore. Cecil Hepworth, in gravi difficoltà finanziarie, giunse a tanto per poter recuperare il nitrato d'argento della pellicola. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
