The Wonderful Story is a 1922 British drama film directed by Graham Cutts and starring Lillian Hall-Davis, Herbert Langley and Olaf Hytten.[1] The fiancee of a farmer falls in love with his brother. It was based on the novel The Wonderful Story by I.A.R. Wylie. The producer Herbert Wilcox chose the story because he believed as it was homely and had few characters it would be suited for the cinema.[2] The film was made on budget of £1,400 and Wilcox sold the rights to it for £4,000. Despite being acclaimed by the critics it was considered a failure at the box office.[3]
