Simple story


Edgar Allen Poe (1909)

Directed by D. W. Griffith this film stars Barry O'Moore and Linda Arvidson. With his wife sick and in need of cash the famous writer is inspired by a raven.

There is not a huge amount to the plot here but this film is easy enough to follow despite it's inter titles having been lost. The film might lack much drama or an exciting climax but it is not the worst watch you will ever see. Surprisingly the image quality of the surviving version I saw was pretty high.

3/5
