The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in.

Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Jack and the Beanstalk è un cortometraggio muto del 1912 diretto da J. Searle Dawley. Si tratta del secondo adattamento cinematografico della popolare fiaba, Jack e la pianta di fagioli, dopo la prima versione del 1902 diretta da George S. Fleming e Edwin S. Porter. Protagonista del film è Gladys Hulette, una delle più famose attrici bambine dell'epoca, qui impegnata secondo le allora accettate convenzioni teatrali in un ruolo (maschile) di bambino.
