Tempest, The
- Synopsis
- Film version of The Tempest. No cast or production credits found. Ball, paraphrasing from Bioscope (December 12 1912), writes ‘the film consequently has pictured the beginning and end of the story, emphasised the magic, dropped the comic characters, and more or less ignored Caliban and his plot. Flashback has been used to give Prospero recognition of his brother and the King of Naples’.
