The most ambitious Thanhouser Company effort since its first release in 1910 came with its three-reel (40 minute) version of Charles Dickens's immortal David Copperfield, the story of an English lad's tribulation-filled journey to adulthood.
A reviewer in the Moving Picture World stated, "The best ideals and fondest expectations of both the friends of the moving picture and the readers of Dickens have been realized."
This newly restored film from Museo Nazionale del Cinema plus bonus features is available on DVD from Thanhouser Company Film Preservation, Inc. at thanhouser.org or stream online at vimeo.com/ondemand/davidcopperfield.
