Long eclipsed by the musical and Disney's animated version, director Herbert Brenon and Cinematographer James Wong Howe create a magical and enchanting film of JM Barrie's enduring tale of the boy who won't grow up. Peter Pan, played by ballerina Betty Bronson, (who was hand picked by JM Barrie), arrives at the Darling home searching for his shadow and ends up taking them back with him to his home, Never-Never Land. There they meet the Lost Boys, who warn them of Captain Hook and his band of pirates. This was the first film version of Barrie's 1904 play, and preserves what makes Peter Pan such an eternal classic that “ingeniously captures the mysteries and wonder of childhood.”
