“Never has a picture been better photographed. It is as clear and beautiful as your first memory.” -New York Daily News.

The very first film adaptation of the J. M. Barrie’s timeless play, PETER PAN was a smash sensation in its day. Barrie sold the rights to Paramount for a hefty sum, and the studio closely adapted the original text, translating the stage production to screen with wit, heart, and a bevy of still-thrilling special effects spectacular. 17-year-old Betty Bronson plays the mischievous leader of the lost boys with impish glee, Ernest Torrence tears through the scenery as Captain Hook, and legendary Chinese-American starlet Anna May Wong appears as Princess Tiger Lily. Virtuoso cinematographer James Wong Howe filmed the production with his trademark deep-focus clarity. The result is a stirring film that brings the viewer closest to the original magnificence of Barrie’s play. The film even inspired Walt Disney to create his own animated adaptation.
