Truly Dreadful Film

the audience applauded

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Dance, Franchonetti Sisters (1897) If you start going through the early history of cinema then you're going to come across countless films that show women dancing. There are dozens of different types of dances and dozens of different women who got in front of the camera to move around so that companies could release more films to the public. This one here features three women doing the dance and for about thirty seconds. In all honesty, with so many dance pictures out there, this one here really doesn't contain anything too special, although the fact that there are three women on display is worthy of being noted. Fans of early cinema will want to check this one out but everyone else could probably just skip it.

Although this is shown in the Biograph as a Quadrille, it is actually a much wilder dance than the old-fashioned French call-dance. Three young women with unbound hair and bare feet dance before a fixed camera. Most notable among their movements are splits. Doubtless the catalogue listing was intended to maintain an air of propriety.What is most interesting is that, despite a fixed camera, one can see all three dancers in full body throughout the film. Although this was standard technique during this period, it became rather passé with moving cameras and editing technique, so that the beauty and movement of dance, perhaps the most closely related to cinema of the lively arts, was lost until its reintroduction in the RKO musicals of Astaire and Rogers in the 1930s.
