Dark and Cloudy is a 1919 film with Lillian Biron and George Ovey. It is part of the Library of Congress Black Films paper print collection,[1] although it appears to be a comedy short featuring white actors.

The film was advertised by its studio, Gayety Comedies, alongside the 1919 film Lovesick at Sea.[4]
