Watch The Earliest Dickens Film - The Death of Poor Joe, 1901
Courtesy of the BFI who have uploaded this to Youtube, this is the earliest Dickens film surviving, 'The Death of Poor Joe' from 1901
Great! 'Poor Joe' died very gracefully and the scene wasn't over-emotional. Indeed, I thought that it was fairly restrained.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the film.
