Der Schauspieler
und Regisseur Henry Edwards gehörte ab 1915 zu den wichtigsten britischen
Filmschaffenden, sowohl als Schauspieler als auch Regisseur.
Er eroberte schon bald als Hauptdarsteller die Leinwand und verzauberte
sein Publikum mit Filmen wie "A Welsh Singer" (15), "Lost and Won" (15),
"The Failure" (17), "The Cobweb" (17), "The Touch of a Child" (18), "The
Refugee" (18), "The Hanging Judge" (18), "The Kinsman" (19) und "Broken
in the Wars" (19).
Seine Laufbahn als Schauspieler ging Hand in Hand mit jener als Regisseur.
Für die Hepworth Filmgesellschaft realisierte er Filme wie "Broken
Threads" (17), "The Secret" (18), "Anna" (18) und "Possession" (19) - oftmals
mit ihm und Chrissie White in der Hauptrolle
(insgesamt 22 Filme). Als Regisseur war Henry Edwards bis in die 30er Jahre
tätig.
Im Gegensatz zu Chrissie White, die er 1922 heiratete, setzte Henry
Edwards seine Filmlaufbahn in den 20er Jahren intensiv fort. Man sah ihn
u.a. in den Produktionen "John Forrest Finds Himself" (20), "Aylwin" (20),
"The Bargain" (21), "The Flag Lieutenant (26), "The Fake" (27), "Indizienbeweis"
(29) und "The Three Kings" (29).
Ab den 30er Jahren wurden seine filmischen Auftritte vor der Kamera
seltener, dazu gehören "Call of the Sea" (30), "Captain's Orders"
(37), "The Magic Bow" (46), "Oliver Twist" (48), "Elizabeth of Ladymead"
(48), "Golden Salamander" (50), "The Magic Box" (51) und "The Long Memory"
(52).
Als Regisseur realisierte er in den 30er Jahren einige eindrucksvolle
Produktionen wie "The Man Who Changed His Name" (34), "Scrooge" (35) und
"Juggernaut" (36) mit Boris Karloff.
