Lorna Doone is a 1922 American silent drama film based upon Richard Doddridge Blackmore's 1869 novel of the same name.[1] Directed by French director Maurice Tourneur in the United States, the film starred Madge Bellamy and John Bowers.[2]
This is one of many film adaptations of the novel. It was filmed twice before in 1912 in England for Clarendon, and in 1915 for the American Biograph Company.[3] Other later adaptations include 1934 and 1951 films, and 1990 and 2001 television movies.
