Director: George Fitzmaurice

Release Date: March 1922

An unseen film. On 29 September 1921 Kinematograph Weekly reported that ‘Several of the exterior scenes of “Three Live Ghosts,” now being produced by George Fitzmaurice for Lasky from a scenario by his wife, Ouida Bergere, have had wharf and riverside backgrounds in the East End of London. The other day, however, an extraordinary scene was taken in front of the Bank of England, where a top hatted man crossed the road pushing a pram containing a golliwog, and leading a sheep by a rope as if it were a dog. The artiste who performed this feat was Cyril Chadwick.’ The same publication reviewed the film, 16 March 1922, noting that ‘The East End types have been well chosen, and the Limehouse atmosphere has been well portrayed’ continuing that ‘There are some excellent London shots which will interest, including the riotous Armistice night scenes.’ This sounds like an interesting film for locations.
