About The Awakening
Bill Williams, a poor inventor with a large family, suddenly comes into great wealth through the sale of an invention. Sudden affluence turns his head, and he changes at once from the plodding mechanic of the dingy shop into an ultra-fashionable man of the town.
Directed by Hobart Bosworth, Hardee Kirkland, The Awakening leans on a strong ensemble — Frank Weed, Lillian Leighton, Lafe McKee — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1912.
