Featured review
Filmed Evidence
Watching old movies one regularly discovers that there's nothing new under the sun, as fifty years before the Zapruder film a film company accidentally records evidence that solves a crime (and as usual captures clear images far from the eye-straining security camera footage one continues to get in real life).
Enhanced by scenes actually shot in New York when Taft was still president, it also demonstrates that even in those early days film acting was already free of that exhausting arm-waving often derided as 'silent film acting'; while over sixty years before Verna Fields won her Oscar for editing 'Jaws' the editing suite at Thanhouser was already seemingly staffed entirely by women!
