About The Vicar of Wakefield
The production vindicated the new feature-length movie format by restoring several characters, plot complications, and atmosphere that had been truncated in Thanhouser’s 1910 version of less than one-sixth the length.
Directed by Ernest C. Warde, The Vicar of Wakefield leans on a strong ensemble — Frederick Warde, Boyd Marshall, Kathryn Adams — 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 1917.
