What happens

The Mystery of Edwin Drood è un film muto del 1914 diretto da Herbert Blaché e da Tom Terriss, qui al suo esordio come regista. Tratto dall'ultimo romanzo di Charles Dickens che venne pubblicato postumo nel 1870, il film è sceneggiato da Terriss che compare anche tra gli interpreti nel ruolo di John Jasper. Prodotta e distribuita dalla World Film, la pellicola, lunga circa 50 minuti, uscì nelle sale il 19 ottobre 1914. Dal libro vennero tratte diverse versioni cinematografiche, tra cui una del 1935 di Stuart Walker con Claude Rains. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
