The Lost Chord is a 1911 Australian feature-length film directed by W. J. Lincoln based on the famous song The Lost Chord by Sir Arthur Sullivan. [3]
It was one of several films Lincoln made with the Tait family, who had produced The Story of the Kelly Gang. [4]
Screenings were often accompanied by a singer who would perform the song. [5] [6] The film has been regarded as one of the earlier example of film-sound synchronisation. [2] [7]
It is now considered a lost film.
