Loud but nothing to be proud of


Cook & Rilly's Trained Rooster (1905)

Directed by Alice Guy-Blache this short film stars a rooster. We see and hear a rooster crowing, an early example of sound in cinema.

As a technical advance this film is no doubt note worthy but otherwise there is really not much to it. The “star” does not provide much in the way of entertainment. If this was a stage show you would probably ask for your money back.

2/5
