Uncle Tom's Cabin (1927) is a silent film directed by Harry A. Pollard and released by Universal Pictures. The film is based on the 1852 novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and was the last silent film version. A copy is preserved at the Library of Congress. The title role was originally played by the notable stage actor Charles Gilpin but he quit amid onset dissatisfaction with the depiction of the role and was replaced by James B. Lowe, reshooting the sections already filmed with Gilpin. The film was rereleased in 1958 with sound added and narration by Raymond Massey.
