Production

She was the first attempt in film to depict the story in H. Rider Haggard's 1887 novel She: A History of Adventure; an earlier film, The Pillar of Fire (1899) by Georges Méliès, was a short silent trick film in which the central character Ayesha stands amid flames.

Running at 24 minutes 40 seconds and released on 26 December 1911, She was Thanhouser's first two-reel production. Made quickly in a week, probably in November 1911, the film marked Thanhouser's attempt to depict the epic romance of H. Rider Haggard's tale of love across the centuries.
