Where?


Where can I see 'King John' (1899) online? I'm a huge fan of William K.L. Dickson's early shorts and documentaries.

5 months after the initial question. I do not know if it is available online, but I just saw it on TCM's Silent Sunday Nights. It was the lead and represented as an advertisement for the contemporary play in London. It was still really nice to see a single scene performed over 100 years ago.

TCM advertised milestonefilms.com as a source of these films.

Yes, it was a treat. A little abrupt. But amazing to see one of the theater's greatest actors: Beerbohm-Tree.

Well, better late than never, I suppose. I saw the tail end of 'King John' (1899) on TCM last night.
