A Manly Man

A Manly Man, later re-released as His Gratitude, is a 1911 short film, starring Mary Pickford.

Mary Pickford stars as a Filipina woman who falls for a white man portrayed by William E. Shay and nurses him back to health when he is struck by fever.

It is among the few surviving Mary Pickford films made in Cuba for Carl Laemmle's Independent Moving Pictures Company.

The film was directed by Thomas Ince, with Tony Gaudio as cinematographer and co-stars Owen Moore, Mary Pickford's husband. Pickford and Moore appeared in several films together.

On February 27, 1911, it was released as A Manly Man.

On November 23, 1914, it was reissued as His Gratitude.

A Manly Man (1911) was restored from a tinted 35mm nitrate film print of the re-titled 1914 reissue version, His Gratitude, with preservation funding provided by The American Film Institute/National Endowment for the Arts Film Preservation Grants Program and The David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

On March 15, 2015, it was screened at the Billy Wilder Theater in the Hammer Museum by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
