Peter Pan is an American silent film, released by Paramount in 1924. This is the first ever cinematic adaptation of the play by J. M. Barrie, and the only one made during his lifetime.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The title character was played by Betty Bronson, who was personally cast by Barrie himself. Ernest Torrence and Mary Brian starred as Captain Hook and Wendy respectively. Also, look out for a pre-fame Anna May Wong as Tiger Lily.In the year 2000, the film was added to the National Film Registry. As of January 1, 2020, it is definitely in the Public Domain, although it is likely the copyright lapsed long before that.The next film adaptation, coming nearly thirty years later, was the Disney version.

comment
Cultural Translation: Every British reference from the original becomes American, with "English gentleman" rendered as "American gentleman," John asking Hook about loyalty to "the Stars and Stripes" instead of "the King," a U.S. flag being raised on the pirate ship after Hook's defeat, and Peter talking about growing up to be "president" instead of just "a man." That last one seems especially excessive. For the U.K. release, a version was made in which the British references were left in, complete with an alternate version of the flag-raising scene that uses the Union Jack. Considering the two surviving copies of the film both came from U.S. sources, it's likely the U.K. version is lost.
