Prunella poster

Released in 1918, Prunella is a fantasy and liebesfilm film directed by Maurice Tourneur, running about 31 minutes.

What it’s about. When Tourneur adapted the allegorical plays The Blue Bird by Belgian symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck and Prunella by British playwrights Harley Granville Barker and Lawrence Housman in 1918, they had been successfully staged for many years, opening in Moscow and on Broadway and everywhere. Today, the saccharine charm of these anti-modern fairy tales doesn’t work any more. But undistracted by the meaning or action of the film, we can enjoy the surface of Prunella all the better, the dazzling sets and costumes, silhouettes and painted backdrops created by the great art director Ben Carré in a fashionable Art Déco Neo-Rococo style.

Who’s in it. Prunella stars Marguerite Clark as Prunella, Isabel Berwin as Prin, Nora Cecil and William J. Gross, among others.
