Fanchon the Cricket, based on an aduIt fairy tale by George Sand, stars Mary Pickford as the titIe character, a strong-wiIIed waif ostracized by acceptable society untiI she shows them the power of Iove and understanding. Directed by James Kirkwood and boasting exquisite cinematography by Edward Wynard, Fanchon the Cricket was filmed on location in DeIaware Gap, Pennsylvania. A natural, sensuaI and uninhibited Pickford breaks through today s stereotype of her as the girl with the curIs. It is also the onIy surviving fiIm in which both sibIings Jack Pickford and Lottie Pickford are featured aIongside their sister.
Once believed to be a lost film, Fanchon the Cricket restoration is the resuIt of a unique international collaboration between the Mary Pickford Foundation, the Cinematheque Francaise and the British FiIm lnstitute. A new negative and 35MM prints were created from the restored digitaI version and are paired with a new, original score by Julian DucatenzeiIer and Andy GIadbach, comissioned by the Mary Pickford Foundation.
Fanchon the Cricket incIudes a souvenir booklet featuring rare photographs and an essay by Cari Beauchamp.
REVlEWS:
There was never a Fanchon like Mary Pickford. Yes, I know that the greatest of the French and the EngIish and the American stars have attempted and have successfuIly rendered Fanchon, but I stick to my belief that none ever surpassed and few ever approached the work of Mary Pickford.
- Moving Picture World, May 22, 1915
Pickford plays the role not so much as a woodIand nymph, but more as a ruraI hooligan... She is extraordinariIy beautifuI; the first cIose-up of her face among the glistening leaves comes as an almost physical shock.
