Any discussion of the modern film industry will invariably end up with a lamentation of its reliance upon remakes and reboots. Such discussions tend to forget that this is not a new trend in film. Many classics, like the Boris Karloff
Frankenstein and the Judy Garland
The Wizard of Oz are themselves remakes. Courtesy of archive.org, I present the oldest surviving film adaptation of the latter, the 1910 silent film,
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
