De Witte (film)
De Witte is a Belgian film of 1934 in black and white, directed by Jan Vanderheyden. It is an adaptation of the homonymous book by Ernest Claes. ''De Witte'' was the first Flemish film production with sound and at the same time it was also very successful. Weeks after the première in Antwerp's Cinema Colosseum the public kept coming to the picture.
