Inspirations
The first film adaptation of J. M. Barrie's play retains much of its theatrical structure and dialogue in the intertitles. Betty Bronson plays Peter, continuing the stage practice of casting a female performer. Its depiction of Indigenous characters preserves stereotypes from the source tradition.
