Love in a Wood is a 1915 British silent comedy film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Gerald Ames, Elisabeth Risdon and Kenelm Foss. The film is a contemporary-set version of William Shakespeare's play As You Like It.[1][2] ”As its title suggests , this film is significant as one of the earliest modern-dress versions of screened Shakespeare.”[3]
