Year | Title | Director | Country | Genre/notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1912 | All for a Girl | Frederick A. Thomson | United States | Short | |
1914 | Mabel's Strange Predicament | Mabel Normand | United States | Short - A noisy, drunk, flirtatious tramp comes between Mabel and her lover Harry. The first film of Charles Chaplin appearing as The Tramp, - Keystone Film Company [1] | |
1914 | Tillie's Punctured Romance | Mack Sennett | United States | First comedy feature film -- subgenre: slapstick, with Marie Dressler in the title role - Keystone Film Company [2] | |
1918 | Mickey | F. Richard Jones | United States | First romantic comedy feature film, shot between May, 1916 and April, 1917 - Mabel Normand Feature Film Company; released August 11, 1918 - W.H. Productions - with Mabel Normand in the title role as she grows from a mischievious, orphaned teenage girl into a mature young woman, battling family deceptions, misunderstandings, and attempted rape, finally to marry her dedicated true lover, a handsome young mining engineer, played by Wheeler Oakman. The film became an instant hit all over the world, with lines stretching for blocks. It was the highest grossing motion picture in the world in 1918, grossing $18 million over a 4-year period, when admission prices were between about 25¢ and $1. Adjusting for inflation, in 2024 dollars, it grossed $372,316,291 over four years. Adjusting for the four-fold increase in world population today, in 2024 it would have brought in a potential box office gross over a 4-year period of $1,489,265,164. Adjusting for the fact that 1918-1922 were the years of the world pandemic of Spanish flu and were the years following World War I, it impossible to calculate the incredible success Mickey would have achieved in a healthier more peaceful world.
