Uncle Tom's Cabin (Movie)The novel Uncle Tom's Cabin has been made into several film versions. The earliest was in 1903, directed by Siegmund Lubin and starring Lubin as Simon Legree. Another version, also released in 1903, was a 13-minute short directed by Edwin S. Porter. In 1910, a version was directed by Barry O'Neil and starring Frank Hall Crane as Uncle Tom, Anna Rosemond as Eliza, Marie Eline as Little Eva and Grace Eline as Topsy. Another version in 1910 was directed by J. Stuart Blackton and adapted by Eugene Mullin. It starred Florence Turner, Mary Fuller, Edwin R. Phillips, Flora Finch, Genevieve Tobin and Carlyle Blackwell Sr. A 1913 release was directed by Otis Turner and adapted by Allan Dwan. It starred Edward Alexander, Margarita Fischer, Harry A. Pollard, Iva Shepard and Gertrude Short. Another 1913 release was directed by Sidney Olcott and starred Anna Q. Nilsson. A 1914 version was directed by William Robert Daly. It was adapted Edward McWade from the play adaptation by George L. Aiken. It starred Sam Lucas, Teresa Michelena, Marie Eline (again), Roy Applegate and Boots Wall. A 1918 version was directed and adapted by J. Searle Dawley. It starred Marguerite Clark (as both Little Eva and Topsy), Sam Hardy, Florence Carpenter, Frank Losee and Walter P. Lewis. A 1927 version was directed by Harry A. Pollard and adapted by Pollard, Harvey F. Thew and A.P. Younger, with titles by Walter Anthony. It starred James B. Lowe, Virginia Grey, George Siegmann, Margarita Fischer (again) and Mona Ray. The subject matter of the Harriet Beecher Stowe novel was too sensitive for further film interpretation for several years. A German language version appeared in 1965, but there was no other film version until a television broadcast in 1987. That version was directed by Stan Lathan and adapted by John Gay. It starred Avery Brooks, Phylicia Rashad, Edward Woodward, Jenny Lewis and Endyia Kinney.
