Gretna Green is a 1915 American silent film comedy produced by Famous Players-Lasky and distributed through Paramount Pictures. It is based on the Broadway play by Grace Livingston Furniss and directed by Thomas N. Heffron. Marguerite Clark is the star of this now lost film.
Notes: The film (and play) are based on the fame of the Scottish town Gretna Green where couples in Scotland flee to, to elope. Though this film has a reelage count of 4 reels (about 40 minutes) it is included in the AFI Catalog 1911-20 as a feature film which may mean it's running time is more than 40 minutes due to lesser frames-per-second (fps). 50 minutes is considered the starting point for films to be called features.[1]
