Frankenstein (1910)   This 1910 adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic tale was written and directed by J. Searle Dawley and produced over a three day period at the Edison Studios in New York.  Although the studios were owned by the inventor Thomas Edison his involvement in the project is disputable. Some sources credit him as the producer of the film, while others state that he had little to do with the activities of his motion picture company. The film has a runtime of just 12 minutes and Shelly's novel ran to over 200 pages, so you will probably not be surprised to learn that some major liberties were taken with the plot. Possibly two of the most notable differences are that the monster fails to kill anyone and Frankenstein and his bride are allowed to live happily ever after. For many years the film was believed to be lost, but in the mid 1970s the collector Alois F. Dettlaff revealed that he had bought a print of the film in the 1950s.
