Oona’s Veil

Perhaps the only film-record of Oona Chaplin (nee O'Neill), this screen-test was made for a film in which she was cast but never appeared. Hers was quite possibly the briefest ever film career, and some say that Charlie Chaplin himself directed it. This version of the screen test, re-photographed and intentionally exposed to chemicals, buried, and left outdoors for a year. What was left over was untangled, spliced together into something approaching a continuous strip of film, and had printed. The sound consists of a 78 of Whispering Hope, played at 33 rpm.
This film has never been screened
