The Eleventh Hour is a 1922 British silent film. One of a number of adaptations of Ethel M. Dell's romance novels made around this time, the film revolves around Doris Elliott (Madge White), who marries farmer Jeff Ironside (Dennis Wyndham), but quickly tires of farm life, and leaves him, only to realise her mistake and return just before Ironside commits suicide – hence "the eleventh hour" of the title. It is unknown whether any recording of the film survives; it may be a lost film. [1]
