Faust

DirectorAlbert Hopkins

1935
50 min

1936 film adaptation of Gounod's opera Faust, which was filmed in spectracolor, was one of the earliest colour motion pictures made in Britain. However, according to Richard Fawkes, writing in Opera on Film, "not even that distinction could save it from being dire. Faust has gone down as being the worst operatic film ever made."
