'Resurrection' is a lost 1912 silent drama short film based on the 1899 novel 'Resurrection' ('Voskraeseniye') by Count Leo Tolstoy. It was directed by Joseph A. Golden, produced by Adolph Zukor and released by Famous Players Film Company,[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/R/Resurrection1912.html 'Resurrection' at silentera.com] It is the first original film Zukor ever produced in contrast to the famous 'Les Amours de la reine lisabeth' starring Sarah Bernhardt which was made in France and which he bought the U.S. distribution rights.
'Resurrection' starred Blanche Walsh, a famous American stage star of the day, who had played in 'Resurrection' on Broadway. This would be Walsh's only film as she died three years later.
D. W. Griffith had filmed a version of the story in 1909.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/R/Resurrection1909-2.html 'Resurrection', DW Griffith's version, 1909] Filmed versions followed in 1918 with Pauline Frederick, 1927 with Dolores del Ro and 1931 with Lupe Vlez.
