You'll have to look hard to find a copy of this black and white film adaptation of Coleridge's epic poem. The film stars the iconic Clara Bow as Doris (a character created for the film - there is nobody named "Doris" in the original poem).
Orson Welles narrates this version of Coleridge's poem, as animated versions of the original nineteenth century illustrations for "Mariner" fill the screen. Another hard-to-find gem for true cinema geeks.
