The Flag Maker, is a lost silent film Western directed by J. Stuart Blackton and starring Bessie Love and Charles Ray. The film, made in the experimental widescreen process Natural Vision, developed by George K. Spoor and P. John Berggren, was never released theatrically.[3] PlotA rich Turk Seref is released from an American prison after 20 years, with plans to exact revenge on the fiancee who had betrayed him.[4] Cast
ProductionThe Natural Vision process required the action to be filmed on two cameras: one for production and one for the dailies. The production camera was set back unusually far from the action,[6] and subsequently filmed only wide shots and no close-ups.[6][7] ShelvingThe film was slated for a March 1927 premiere at New York's Roxy Theatre, which was rumored to have been equipped to show films in Natural Vision.[8][9] However, producer Spoor refused to release the film because it was "poorly made".[10][11] Director Blackton protested, saying that he had not been allowed to complete the picture, and had not been fully paid for his work.[10] See also
