The Great Train Robbery (1903)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 10m
Director: Edwin S. Porter
Cast: Marie Murray, Broncho Billy Anderson, George Barnes

Synopsis:

Bandits hold up a train for its loot after tying up a telegraph clerk, but are foiled by the daughter, who raises the alarm.

Review:

One of the first examples of parallel editing in films, with fluid time transitions and overlapping action between scenes. Even given its undeniable age and limitations, the effect is galvanising compared with earlier efforts. The movies had arrived all right.
