Producer/director/cinematographer/actor George Dewhurst was one of the pioneers of the British film industry. Most of Dewhurst's films from 1905 through 1925 have long since disappeared; those that survive do little to advance his reputation. Though his technique was antiquated, he managed to weather the talkie revolution, directing such amiable efforts as A Sister to Assist 'Er (1931) before his retirement. George Dewhurst deserves at least a footnote in screen history as the man who "discovered" Ronald Colman: impressed by what he saw in an amateur stage production, Dewhurst top-billed the young Colman in the 1917 2-reeler Live Wires and the 1919 feature the The Toilers, neither of which exists today.
