The Gibson Goddess
(1909)
Directed by D. W.
Griffith this film stars Marion Leonard, Arthur V. Johnson, George
Nichols and Anthony O'Sullivan. A woman is harassed by men at the
beach but only one sticks by her when she pretends to have deformed
legs.
Not exactly
intelligent in it's humour this is a fairly simple short film that is
pretty easy to follow. The subject matter is not exactly enlightened
but I have seen far worse from Griffith. Fairly well made and with a
good surviving image quality this is not a bad watch really.
3/5
