The Wishing Ring: An Idyll of Old England is a 1914 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Maurice Tourneur and starring Vivian Martin. Based on the 1910 play of the same name by Owen Davis that ran on Broadway starring Marguerite Clark,[1][2] the film was shot in Fort Lee, New Jersey by the World Film Corporation.[3]

The film was thought to have been lost but a 16mm print of the film was rediscovered by film historian Kevin Brownlow in England.[4] In 2012, the National Film Registry selected the film for preservation.[5]
