“A marvelously clear picture taken from the top of the elevator of the Eiffel Tower during going up and coming down of the car. This wonderful tower is 1,000 feet in height, and the picture produces a most sensational effect. As the camera leaves the ground and rises to the top of the tower, the enormous white city opens out to the view of the astonished spectator. Arriving at the top of the tower, a bird's eye view of the Exposition looking toward the Trocadero, and also toward the Palace of Electricity, is made, and the camera begins its descent. The entire trip is shown on a 200-foot film. 30.00. We furnish the ascent in 125 foot film.” (Edison film catalog)

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Unseen Cinema Disc 1: "The Mechanized Eye: Experiments in Technique and FormEiffel Tower from Trocadero Palace (1900) Palace of Electricity (1900)Champs de Mars (1900) Panorama of Eiffel Tower (1900) Scenes from Elevator Ascending Eiffel Tower (1900)Group of films from director James White, which according to the liner notes of the set were the first foreign films to be sold to U.S. markets. For their time these films have more flair than most of the film of their era due to the director keeping the camera moving, which still wasn't normal for 1900. Those interested in how Paris looked back in the day would certainly be interested in these.

Again, this film is only really interesting from the perspective of history, not entertainment nor art. In fact, specifically this film shows the limited experimentation the creators had when it shows a mostly out-of-focus image of movement upwards through the Eiffel Tower. It doesn't really give a lot of information or show the surrounding area well enough to be a completely successful experiment in what the makers were trying to do.However, it is a very early dolly shot, so to speak, and that counts for something. Furthermore, I can't help but point out the importance of the Eiffel Tower towards modernity and industry, and how those tie into the development of film as a whole. Early film was often concerned with machinery, mostly because early film was machinery. A lot of these images we take for granted are a key part of the Industrial Revolution, and this film helps recognize that aspect.--PolarisDiB

A close-up examination of the girders of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The view is varied somewhat by occasional glimpses of buildings, warehouses in the early sections and at the end of this two-minute film, ten seconds of the buildings surrounding the Champs de Mars.
