The Vermilion Pencil is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Norman Dawn. This film is based on the 1908 novel by Homer Lea and features a notable performance by Sessue Hayakawa.
The Vermilion Pencil, though not widely circulated today, has a certain allure for collectors due to its historical context and the rarity of early silent dramas featuring Asian leads in significant roles. The film has made its rounds in various home video formats over the years, but finding a pristine copy can be a challenge. It’s one of those films that collectors often discuss, not just for its content but for what it represents in cinema history and the evolution of narrative and character portrayals.
