Double Dealing

Double Dealing is a British comedy short from 1928, produced by Welsh-Pearson. The film features a cast that includes Patrick Aherne, Dodo Watts, Ian Wilson, and Philip Hewland. As a quota quickie, it represents an era of filmmaking designed to meet government-mandated requirements for British films.

The fact that Double Dealing is classified as a lost film adds to its intrigue for collectors. Lost films hold a special place in cinema history, often representing a gap in the filmography of their time. Collectors interested in silent film history may find the concept of a lost title particularly compelling, as it highlights the fragility of early cinema and the importance of preservation efforts.
