One Hundred Years Ago is a 1911 Australian silent film directed by Gaston Mervale. It features an early screen performance from Louise Lovely (billed as "Louise Carbasse") and is considered a lost film.
The movie was billed as "an Anglo-Australian romantic drama". [2] Jasper Hugh Lovel is sent to prison at Norfolk Island for a crime he did not commit. A woman in England who loves him manages to secure his pardon and they are reunited. [3]
The film was shot at Australian Life Biograph's factory in Manly, New South Wales. [4] Unlike many Australian films of the time, it was an original script, not based on a play. The author was Patrick William Marony.
The story is founded on fact. In an old cell at Norfolk Island may be seen the following inscription: "I, Jasper Hugh Lovel, here proclaim, before God and man, I am innocent. May God avenge me on mine enemy." [5]
