Under the Greenwood Tree (1918 film)


Under the Greenwood Tree is a 1918 silent film feature directed by Emile Chautard and starring Elsie Ferguson. The movie was based on a play by Henry V. Esmond. An unrelated British film with this title based on the Thomas Hardy novel Under the Greenwood Tree was made in 1929. Film possibly has a scene where Ferguson swims in the nude in a pond. The title refers to a line in William Shakespeares play As You Like It Act II, Scene V. The film is classified as lost.

The poor in the film, as represented by the lazy gypsies who rob Mary, do not compare well to the heroic but naive members of the upper class.
