Francesca da Rimini (titre alternatif : The Two Brothers) est un film américain réalisé par James Stuart Blackton, sorti en 1908.

Il s'agit de l'adaptation au cinéma de la pièce de théâtre éponyme de Gabriele D'Annunzio, tragédie inspirée elle-même du chant V de la Divine Comédie, avec William V. Ranous (Paolo Malatesta) et Florence Turner (Francesca da Rimini) dans les rôles principaux. Cela a été, par ailleurs, la première apparition à l'écran d'Edith Storey.

James Stuart Blackton réalisera deux ans plus tard un remake de ce film, également produit par la Vitagraph Company of America portant le même titre, connu également sous le titre Paolo e Francesca, dans lequel Florence Turner interprétera à nouveau le rôle de Francesca da Rimini. L'intrigue raconte l'histoire de Paolo et Francesca, deux figures d'amants entrés dans l'imaginaire sentimental populaire en incarnant la passion amoureuse par excellence. Ces deux personnages sont inspirés de personnages réels, Paolo Malatesta et Francesca da Rimini, qui ont vécu au Moyen Âge.

The Duke of Athens decrees that Hermia (Rose Tapley) shall forsake Lysander (Maurice Costello) in favour of her father's choice, Demetrius (Walter Ackerman). The lovers elope into the woods, quickly followed by Demetrius and his love, Helena (Julia Swayne Gordon). The town tradesmen, meanwhile, rehearse a play in honour of the duke's betrothal to Hippolyta. Back in the forest, Titania, Queen of Fairies (Florence Turner), quarrels with Penelope, who avenges herself by sending Puck (Gladys Hulette) away with a magic herb, which, dabbed on the eyes of a sleeping person, shall make the "victim" fall in love with the first person to appear after awakening. Soon, Lysander and Demetrius are smitten with the wrong girls and Titania has fallen in love with Bottom, the egotistical leader of the tradesmen, whom Puck has turned into an ass. When Penelope discovers all this mischief, she lifts the spell and the wedding of the duke and Hippolyta can proceed.
