B&W : One reel
Directed by (unknown)

Thanhouser Company production; distributed by Motion Picture Distributing & Sales Company. / Released 21 April 1911. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format.

Drama.

Synopsis: [From Motion Picture Distributing & Sales Company promotional materials] Weighed in the Balance is a great spectacular reel that we’re glad to stick our trade-mark onto, for its supreme merit will redound to that trade-mark’s credit. Still, it may harm us by making you look for a run of like subjects, and it’s difficult to “do” a “Weighed in the Balance” every week. Likely it’s our best effort in the spectacular line since “Governor’s Daughter.” While we can’t guarantee a weekly prototype, we can say that 1911 will see many more pictures as good as this, and a few even better.

Survival status: Print exists.

Current rights holder: Public domain [USA].
