Ivanhoe is a 1913 American silent adventure/drama film starring King Baggot, Leah Baird, Herbert Brenon, Evelyn Hope, and Walter Craven. Directed by Herbert Brenon and produced by Carl Laemmle's Independent Moving Pictures after IMP was absorbed into the newly founded Universal, which was the distributor, the screenplay was adapted by Brenon based on the epic 1819 historical novel of the same title by Sir Walter Scott. One of the first expeditions abroad, Ivanhoe was filmed on location in the United Kingdom. A copy of this early feature length production is preserved at the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
