Undine is a 1916 American silent fantasy drama film which featured the athletic actress Ida Schnall in a water-themed story based upon the fairy tale Undine by Friedrich de la Motte Fouque.[2] The film was directed by Henry Otto and produced and distributed by the Bluebird Photoplays division of Universal Film Manufacturing Company.[3] It is not known whether the film currently survives.[4]
- ^ According to the film reference How Movies Work by Bruce F. Kawin (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1987, p. 46), a standard 1000-foot theatrical reel of film in the silent era was projected at a speed of 16 frames per second, considerably slower than the 24 frames in the sound era. Silent reels therefore had an average running time of 15 minutes or slightly less.
