The film clearly captures Merson's comic brilliance - he not only sings, but dances, skips and indulges in a lot of creative business with a lyre. Merson had been making films since 1915 and Desdemonia is often cited as Britain's first sound film.' (Robin Baker, BFI) Cast [1] Billy Merson Trailers Billy Merson Singing 'Desdemona' (1927)
