We have sparse information about this silent film apart from a note in Alan Goble’s The Complete Index to Literary Sources in Film, which lists the 1907 [sic] play When Knights Were Bold as the source of the 1180-meter film, directed by Oreste Visalli, released by Aquila Film, and featuring Jeanne Nolly, Giulio Del Torre, and Claudia Zambuto.

Indexer Notes

(2)
  1. Classification—just a guess that this is a feature film (more than 40 minutes) based on the length of 1140 meters and additional information about the English version.
  2. Credits—It’s almost certain that Robert Buchanan was uncredited; we have no information on whether Harriet Jay was credited as Charles Marlowe or otherwise.
