Watch Cymbeline

Southern California locations vividly suggest both elemental pre-Roman Britain and classical Rome. An energetic cinematic pacing and intimacy show rapidly improving narrative technique and realism well beyond the limitations of the stage. Especially cinematic are the bedchamber scene in the first reel, with its intimate cinematography and acting and special lighting effect, and the battle scene of the second reel, considered very effective in its day.

Cymbeline is a 1913 drama with a runtime of 22 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
