A Daughter of the Gods
''A Daughter of the Gods'' was a 1916 American silent fantasy drama film written and directed by Herbert Brenon. The film was controversial because of the sequences of what was regarded as superfluous nudity by the character Anitia, played by Australian swimming star Annette Kellerman. The scene is regarded as the first complete nude scene by a major star, which occurred during a waterfall sequence, though most of Kellerman's body is covered by her long hair. It was filmed by Fox Film Corporation in Kingston, Jamaica where huge sets were constructed, and directed by Herbert Brenon.
Though stills and publicity photos have survived, the film is now considered lost.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Daughter of the Gods )〕〔(''A Daughter of the Gods'' at TheGreatStars.com; Lost Films Wanted )〕
==Background==
Brenon served as writer of this original scenario/screenplay for the film. However, he more than likely saw and was influenced by David Belasco and John Luther Long's 1902 Broadway play ''The Darling of the Gods'' starring Blanche Bates, Robert T. Haines, and young George Arliss, which has a similar theme of reward for rescuing a child and a large ensemble cast. The play differs in that it is set in feudal Japan while the movie is backdropped in an undersea kingdom, not unlike Atlantis.
Brenon makes aspects of the play cinematic (underwater sequences, Kellerman's nudity, etc.) in an obvious effort to avoid plagiarism of Belasco's play and hence a lawsuit.〔''Magill's Survey of Cinema; Silent Films'' Essays 1 A-Fla ''A Daughter of the Gods'' page 361, Salem Press c.1981 by Frank Magill〕〔(''The Darling of the Gods'' as produced on Broadway Dec.3, 1902 - May 1903, Belasco Theatre; IBDb.com )〕〔''Pictorial History of the American Theatre; 1860-1970'' page 71 by Daniel Blum c. 1970 (reprint edition of 1953 original)〕
