About The Prodigal Son
The first feature-length motion picture produced in Europe, running 90 minutes. Directed by Michel Carré, from his own three-act stage pantomime, The Prodigal Son. The film was basically an unmodified filmed record of his play. Filmed at the Gaumont Film Company studios in May 1907.
Directed by Michel Carré, The Prodigal Son leans on a strong ensemble — Georges Wague, Henri Gouget, Christiane Mandelys — 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 1907.
