Remakes starting early


A Dreadful Night (1905)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is essentially a remake of an earlier Melies film. A man tries to sleep but his bed is having none of it.

Using simple trick photography this short film strings together a number of physical gags. Funny but familiar this is very much middle of the road for the period. Probably not worth seeking out even if this is not a bad watch.

3/5
