Griffiths reaches his best...well in technical terms...
By BazzyB1982 (3 reviews) from Bedford , 14 Jun 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
If you want to see how the concept of using cuts to create suspense and drama was fully developed by D. W. Griffiths, look no further. It is with this film that he gets the rhythm and camera shots right for his classic 'final tension' scenes (where protagonists have to stop something happening just in time). I would suggest watching Hitchcock master this technique with 'Sabotage', and then watching how Griffiths intorduced the editing technique.
Rest of the plot is normal Griffith melodrama fare, Lillian Gish does her usual, but as always well acted, not confusing but of epic quality, and the sets are meticulous.- Was this review helpful to you?
