The Pickwick Papers is a 1913 three-reel silent film based on the 1837 novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. The film was produced by Vitagraph Studios and features John Bunny in the title role of Samuel Pickwick.
Bunny and the Vitagraph Company desired to make an authentic recreation of Dickens's novel, and filming took place in England rather than at Vitagraph's New York studio. Bunny regarded the finished film highly, and The Moving Picture World praised its fidelity to Dickens's work. The film did not achieve popularity among audiences, however, who preferred Bunny's usual output of one-reel comedies. Only two reels of the film survive in the holdings of the British Film Institute.
