Faust
(1916) United States of America
B&W : Feature film
Directed by George E. Middleton

Cast: William Pike [Faust], Beatriz Michelena [Marguerite]

California Motion Picture Corporation production. / Scenario by Captain Leslie T. Peacocke, from the play Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format. / The production from late 1916 was left incomplete and unreleased when, after Middleton and his wife Michelena submitted their resignations on 6 November 1916 effective upon the completion of the film. The producers gave the couple until 31 December 1916 to complete production or the film would not be released. After that date, the producers asked Michelena to complete the film without salary, when $12,000 in unpaid salary was already due to Michelena. She refused, and the production was shut down. An unknown quantity of the film was later incorporated into the story line of The Price Woman Pays (1919), which was specifically crafted to make use of the Michelena footage.

Drama: Historical.

Survival status: (unknown)
