Director: Herbert Wilcox
Release Date: October 1926
An unseen film. On 29 April 1926 The Bioscope reported that ‘The story travels from Limehouse Causeway to Park Lane, showing the progress of a beautiful girl from poverty to wealth, so that it is logical to present in this picture the traditions and greatness of London’s East End and West End alike. It is certain that no motion picture has ever been so definitely conceived to present to the whole world the city of London. Therefore it is hoped that the picture “London” will not only be a unique film entertainment but also a worthy tribute to a great city.’ While there’s no ‘implicit’ reference to location shooting, and all that is mentioned could easily have been shot on an extremely bland, boring and untimately lifeless studio set I’ll presume that the film featured some views of London. There is no reference to this film in Twenty-Five Thousand Sunsets: The Autobiography of Herbert Wilcox, 1967, which itself is rather bland, boring and lifeless.
Capture 1
Nothing but posters for this title and I guess that's supposed to be Trafalgar Square.
Capture 2
Another poster.
Capture 3
The Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge along with could be a painfully awful studio rendering of 'Limehouse'.
