The First Born (1928) – Silent
 Run time: Approved | Drama Director: Miles Mander Writers: Miles Mander, Alma Reville Stars: Miles Mander, Madeleine Carroll, John Loder |
| Storyline Directed by and starring Miles Mander, this is considered to be one of the finest British films of the late-silent period. The film is a “topical tale of a hypocritical, philandering politician who exploits his wife to mop up the woman’s vote.” (Though the film was made in 1928, it was not released until 1929, the year in which women under 30 were given the vote in Britain for the first time.) |
