The Lost Chord is a 1911 Australian feature-length film directed by W. J. Lincoln based on the famous song The Lost Chord by Sir Arthur Sullivan.[3]
It was one of several films Lincoln made with the Tait family, who had produced The Story of the Kelly Gang.[4]
Screenings were often accompanied by a singer who would perform the song.[5][6] The film has been regarded as one of the earlier example of film-sound synchronisation.[2][7]
It is now considered a lost film.
