’Lost Daughter of the Gods’ starring Annette Kellermann

A ten minute condensed reconstruction of the lost epic film, ’A Daughter of the Gods’ (1916) starring Annette Kellermann directed by Herbert Brenon and produced by William Fox. A fairy tale fantasy filmed in Jamaica, involving a mythical kingdom, a mad sultan, a good fairy, a wicked witch, mermaids, gnomes, and Anitia, an chanted and carefree woman of the sea. Reportedly the first American movie to cost more than a million dollars-- against the wishes of producer William Fox, who fired director Herbert Brenon and took his name off the credits.
