Dark and Cloudy is a 1919 film with Lillian Biron and George Ovey. It is part of the Library of Congress Black Films paper print collection,[1] although it appears to be a comedy short featuring white actors. The film has been described as using blackface as a comic pretext.[2] It was directed and written by Craig Hutchinson.[3]

The film was advertised by its studio, Gayety Comedies, alongside the 1919 film Lovesick at Sea.[4]
