About The Black Sheep
You would think that the death of his wife through his dissipation and neglect would have brought Jack Moreland to his senses. Instead he is more dissipated, and deserts his child, Clara, who is taken by her uncle, Harold Moreland, and brought up in ignorance of her father's existence.
Directed by Edwin R. Phillips, The Black Sheep leans on a strong ensemble — Maurice Costello, Helene Costello, Zena Keefe — 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.
