About Nicholas Nickleby
With The Old Curiosity Shop and David Copperfield, both released in 1911, and Nicholas Nickleby in 1912, Thanhouser established itself as producer of the best Dickens adaptations in American film.
Directed by George Nichols, Nicholas Nickleby leans on a strong ensemble — Harry Benham, Mignon Anderson, Frances Gibson — 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.
