The Constant Nymph (1928 film)
The Constant Nymph is a 1928 British silent film drama, directed by Adrian Brunel and starring Ivor Novello and Mabel Poulton.
This was the first film adaptation of the 1924 best- selling and controversial novel" The Constant Nymph" by Margaret Kennedy and the 1926 stage play version written by Kennedy and Basil Dean.
The theme of adolescent sexuality reportedly discomfited the British film censors, until they were reassured that lead actress Poulton was in fact in her 20s.
Location filming took place in the Austrian Tyrol, and the film proved a commercial and critical success, being named the best British feature film of 1928.
Jo Botting of the British Film Institute notes:" The progression through the film is from light to darkness, from space to enclosure and from hope to despair."

Adrian Brunel
Adrian Brunel
( 4 September 1892 – 18 February 1958) was an English film director and screenwriter.
Brunel's directorial career started in the silent era, and reached its peak in the latter half of the 1920s.
His surviving work from the 1920s, both full- length feature films and shorts, is highly regarded by silent film historians for its distinctive innovation, sophistication and wit.
With the arrival of talkies, Brunel's career ground to a halt and he was absent from the screen for several years before returning in the mid-1930s with a flurry of quota quickie productions, a majority of which are now classed as lost.
Brunel's last credit as director was in a 1940 wartime propaganda short film, although he worked for a few years more as a" fixer- up" for films directed or produced by friends in the industry.
After decades of neglect, Brunel's work has latterly been rediscovered and has undergone a critical re-evaluation.
His" lost" films are eagerly sought, and the British Film Institute includes two(" The Crooked Billet"( 1929) and" Badger's Green"( 1934)) on its" 75 Most Wanted" list of missing British feature films.
