Mid-Channel

The story has been adapted from the Sir Arthur Wing Pinero play. The title means nothing more than the mid-channel of married life, through a character in the feature likening the roughness of the English channel in the center of the trip across from London to Paris to the woes married folks meet in their wedded life.

Directed by Harry Garson, Mid-Channel leans on a strong ensemble — Clara Kimball Young, J. Frank Glendon, Edward Kimball — 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 1920.
