Featured review
Griffith and Poe
Sealed Room, The (1909)
*** (out of 4)
D.W. Griffith's version of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Cask of Amontillado' has a King learning that his wife is cheating on him so he seals her and her lover behind a brick wall. This short film manages to have some nice suspense as well as some very good direction from Griffith who gets everything he can out of the story in such a short running time. The ending is wonderfully wicked as well.
You've got several options when viewing this title. Image, Kino, Grapevine and a couple public domain companies have released it.
