Wells’s short story of the same name and stars Roland Young with a cast of supporting players including Sir Ralph Richardson and in a London Films production from the famous Hungarian-born British producer, Sir Alexander Korda.  H.G.

Let Me Dream Again: Let Me Dream Again is a 1900 British short silent drama film, directed by George Albert Smith, featuring a man dreaming about an attractive young woman and then waking up next to his wife.  The film stars Smith's real wife, Laura Bayley, as the woman of his fantasies.  Bayley would later appear in Smith's 1906 film 'Mary Jane's Mishap.'

The bed is placed against a wall and in front of a camera that is fixed to the floor, giving the appearance of two people lying in bed, when in reality they are standing.  The film was shot in Smith's own studio, the former pump house at St Ann's Well Gardens in Hove.  The film was remade by Ferdinand Zecca for Pathé as "Dream and Reality" (1901).
