Synopsis A wonderful British musical saluting Hollywood’s glorious era of silent pictures! The Biograph Girl takes a refreshing look at the birth of the ‘flickers’ and that memorable age of stardust and stars of tinsel, glamour and scandals. It is a nostalgic reminiscence of the silent movies seen through the eyes of four famous figures: the great silent movie stars, Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish; David Wark Griffiths, the most famous of all the American silent directors; and Adolph Zukor, one of the studio bosses who laid the foundations of the movie industry we know today.
