What happens

Jack and the Beanstalk è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 prodotto da Thanhouser Film Corporation. Si tratta del quarto adattamento cinematografico della popolare fiaba, Jack e la pianta di fagioli, dopo la versione del 1902 diretta da George S. Fleming e Edwin S. Porter e le due versioni del 1912 prodotte rispettivamente dalla Edison Manufacturing Company e dalla Kinemacolor Company. Rispetto alle precedenti versioni, la storia si è fatta più elaborata e complessa raggiungendo la lunghezza di due rulli. Protagonista del film è Leland Benham, affiancato dagli altri attori bambini della Thanhouser Film Corporation: Helen Badgley e le gemelle Madeline e Marion Fairbanks. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
