East Is East is a 1916 British silent film drama directed by Henry Edwards, who also starred in the film with Florence Turner. The film is an early example of the plot premise which would prove very popular in the British silent film canon: that of a character from the working-class East End of London being suddenly thrust by circumstance into the daunting milieu of West End high society.
