Curiozități

Reported Missing is a 1922 American silent comedy film directed by Henry Lehrman and starring Owen Moore, Pauline Garon, and Tom Wilson.

Production

Consistent with the practice at that time, the comic role of the valet Sam was played by Wilson in blackface. The use of white actors in blackface for black character roles in Hollywood films did not begin to decline until the late 1930s, although it is now considered highly offensive.
