Diplomacy is a 1916 silent film drama produced by the Famous Players Film Company and distributed by Paramount Pictures. It is based on the 1878 stage play Diplomacy, adapted from the French play Dora (1877) by Victorien Sardou, which had enjoyed revivals and road shows for decades. This film stars Doro reprising her 1914 Broadway revival role. [1] The film is now lost with just a fragment, 1 reel, remaining at the Library of Congress. [2] [3]
The story was filmed again in 1926 as Diplomacy by Paramount with Blanche Sweet starring and her then husband Marshall Neilan directing.
