Kid Dabb Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 In the early 1900s, a (now) famous director saw a comic stage adaptation of a novel which he later developed into a thriller film in which the studio would not allow the star to be portrayed as guilty of the crimes - a real life publicity problem. The script was changed to show the star was completely innocent of all wrongdoing. The director followed instructions but avoided showing the true villain onscreen. The producer was not pleased, nearly shelving the project. Who was the star? - Bonus : Film ? Director ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dabb Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ok. I will accept that. I was going for *Moana (1926)* for which the term documentary was coined by Scottish documentarian John Grierson in his review of Robert Flaherty's film published in the New York Sun on February 8, 1926, written by "The Moviegoer" (a pen name for Grierson). Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life was earlier and is now referred to as a documentary. Thank you Your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
